I can't figure out how to set the 10 second timer for my Canon A410..HELP!!!!

Press the FUNC/SET button. Use the cursor keys to select Drive Mode. Use left/right to select the desired delay and press FUNC/SET. Start the self-timer by pressing the shutter release button.

Full details are in the "Using the Self-Timer" section of the advanced guide. (page 35 in my copy). If you need any of the manuals, you can download them from the manufacturer's web site at

The A410 works with MMC and SD cards. While SDHC cards will fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and will not work. You need to use cards 2GB and smaller.

Select either the circle with a "10" or a "2" depending on if you want the timer to be set for 10 seconds or 2 seconds, then press "FUNC." The timer will begin when you press the shutter button to take a photo.
Good luck and do rate the solution if got help

the self timer usually works like this.
find the self timer setting and set it to 5 or 10 seconds.
then exit the menu and click the button that you normally press to take photo. the self timer will start automatically and the picture will be taken after 5 or 10 seconds (depending on what you set).
note that the self timer will be reset to off after this.

I'm sorry to tell you, but the PowerShot A410 model does not have a microphone to record voice. Of all the A400 models, only the A410 and A420 were made this way. For some unknown reason, Canon decided to not include micorphones wiith these two cameras, thus they can only record video, but no voice.

In the shooting mode, press the Func/Set button. Scroll down the icons to the 'drive mode' icon (a square). Then scroll right to the icon showing a circled 2 (2 second delay) or a circled 10 (10 second delay). Press the Func/Set button to select.

To return to normal, use the same procedure, but select the square icon (single shot).

If there is a factory reset option it the settings try pressing that. Remember to back up anything on the camera (eg. photos).

The C1 & C2 settings are for "Custom" settings. You'll most likely want to set your camera either to "P" or "Auto" mode.
To have it delay for 10 seconds and take 3 shots, press the "Menu" button and then scroll down to "Drive Settings". Then, choose the following settings:
Self-Timer: "C" Delay: 10 sec. Shots: 3 shots
Then, press the "Func./Set" key to lock in the change. Next, press the custom timer button on the back of the camera and then choose the "C" timer using the directional keys. Then, press teh "Func.Set" button.
Lastly, set up your camera, press the shutter release, and the timer light should start blinking. 10 seconds later, the camera will take 3 photos in succession.
Hope this helps!

when in picture mode, press "set" then go to "drive mode" and choose either 10 or 2 seconds

hi there
when in camera mode do the following

look at the multi function dial
at the 3 o'clock position you will see a lightning bolt
press it and select the bolt with a line through it
press the func set button and its off.
do the reverse to turn it on.
