Customizing The Self-Timer - Canon PowerShot SX150 IS User Manual

Using the Self-Timer to Prevent Camera Shake
The camera will shoot approximately 2 seconds after the shutter button is pressed,
preventing any camera shake that occurs when pressing the shutter button.

Customizing the Self-Timer

You can set the delay (0 – 30 seconds) and the number of shots (1 – 10 shots).
• When 2 or more shots are set, the exposure and white balance settings
are set with the first shot. If the flash fires or you set a high number of
shots, the shooting interval may take longer than usual. Shooting will stop
automatically if the memory card fills.
• When you set the delay for more than 2 seconds, the lamp and self-timer
sound speed up 2 seconds before the shutter releases (the lamp remains
lit when the flash will fire).
