How do I set the timer for delayed shots? - Canon PowerShot A430 Digital Camera

as far as i know the fz 200 has only 2 option , instant and delay, i may be wrong on this, if your camera has an option to use a lcd timer remote ,you set the desired number of shots with delay

Sorry, the camera only gives you a choice of no delay, two-second delay, or ten-second delay. The full details are on page 17 of the manual.

Hi.

1. On the outside of the cameraPress the 'function set' button marked .

2. Use the 'up'/'down' buttons to select 'Drive Mode' in the display.

3. Use 'left' / 'right' buttons to change the self-timer mode.

4. Choose the timer delay or select , after which pressing the 'Disp.' button will allow you to set the delay and number of shots.

5. Press the 'function set' button again to start the timer.

Hope this helps!

Hi, Follow these steps:
1. In any Still mode, tap Settings to open the Settings panel.
2. Tap Self-Timer/Burst repeatedly, until the desired Self-timer icon appears at the bottom of the LCD: 10 seconds—A picture is taken after a 10-second delay (so you have time to get into the scene). 2 seconds—A picture is taken after a 2-second delay (for a steady, auto-shutter release on a tripod). 2 shot—The first picture is taken after a 10-second delay. A second picture is taken 8 seconds later.
3. Compose the scene. Press the Shutter button halfway, then completely down. The camera takes the picture/pictures

On your Cyber-shot DSC-W55 locate the control button:




Using the self-timer

Press on the control button repeatedly until the desired mode is selected.


Conditions of the self-timer lamp:
(No indicator): Not using the self-timer
: Setting the 10-second delay self-timer (picture is taken after 10 seconds)
: Setting the 2-second delay self-timer (picture is taken after 2 seconds)

Press the shutter button, the self-timer lamp flashes, and a beep sounds until the shutter operates.

Hope this helps.
Thank you.

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).

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!

Sure, follow these steps...

• Set everyone in an even composition, close together, maybe some standing, some sitting, whatever strikes you as a good picture.
  
• Put the camera on a tripod or other tall article
• Press the Mountain/Macro/Timer button until the (clock/timer) icon is displayed on the viewer. The button to press is just above the MF (Manual Focus letters)
• Press the shutter button all the way down to activate the timer.
• Press once for ten-second delay
• Press twice for three-second delay
• Press a third time to stop the timer
• Jump into the shot! =)

The lamp next to the lens will start to blink and continue until one second before the picture is taken. The lamp will then stay solid during the last second to warn about the picture being taken.
