Using The Self-Timer To Avoid Camera Shake; Customizing The Self-Timer - Canon PowerShot ELPH 530 HS User Manual

Using the Self-Timer to Avoid Camera Shake

This option delays shutter release until about two seconds after you have
pressed the shutter button. If the camera is unsteady while you are pressing
the shutter button, it will not affect your shot.

Customizing the Self-Timer

You can specify the delay (0 – 30 seconds) and number of shots (1 – 10).
• For movies shot by touching
recording begins, but the [Shots] setting has no effect.
• When you specify multiple shots, image brightness and white balance are
determined by the first shot. More time is required between shots when the flash
fires or when you have specified to take many shots. Shooting will stop
automatically when the memory card becomes full.
• When a delay longer than two seconds is specified, two seconds before the
shot, the lamp blinking and self-timer sound will speed up. (The lamp will remain
lit in case the flash fires.)
