Self-Timer Operation - Canon EOS D60 Instructions Manual

Self-timer Operation

The self-timer is convenient for group photographs. You can use it in any Basic mode or
Creative mode. We recommend using a tripod when you use the self-timer.
Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button to start the
self-timer. Doing so prevents the camera from focusing on the subject.
●
You can set the beep that indicates the subject is in focus and the beep that
indicates the self-timer is operating to [On ] or [ Off]. (→118)
●
When using the self-timer to shoot only yourself, lock the focus (→58) on an
object at about the same distance as where you will be.
●
You can use the Remote Switch RS-80N3 (optional) or Timer Remote Controller
TC-80N3 (optional) to take a picture when you are away from the camera.
