How do you turn off the self-timer?

Sounds like the self timer was accidently set.

Description

Using the Self-timer on the EOS REBEL T3i.

Solution

The self-timer is useful when you want to photograph yourself or prevent camera shake caused when the shutter is released.
1. Set the power switch to <ON>.
2. Press < > button.
3. Press <Cross Keys> to select the desired self-timer, then press the <SET> button.
: 10-sec. self-timer (The remote control can also be used.)
: 2-sec. self-timer
: 10-sec. self-timer plus continuous shots. After selecting , press <Cross Keys> to set the number of multiple shots (2 to 10) to be taken with the self-timer.)
4. Look through the viewfinder, focus the subject, then press the shutter button completely.

• You can check the self-timer operation with the self-timer lamp, beeper, and countdown display (in seconds) on the LCD monitor.
• Two seconds before the picture is taken, the self-timer lamp will stay on and the beeper will sound faster.

Attention:
With [ ], the interval between the multiple shots may be prolonged depending on the shooting functions settings such as the image-recording quality or flash.
NOTE:

• After taking self-timer shots, you should check the image for proper focus and exposure.
• If you will not look through the viewfinder when you press the shutter button, attach the eyepiece cover. If stray light enters the viewfinder when the picture is taken, it may throw off the exposure.
• When using the self-timer to photograph only yourself, use focus lock on an object at about the same distance as where you will stand.
• To cancel the self-timer after it starts, press the < > button.

To cancel the self-timer after it starts, press the DRIVE button. To turn off the self-timer, press the DRIVE button and select a non-self-timer mode. See page 82 of this manual: http://www.fixya.com/support/p1660907-canon_eos_60d_digital_camera/usermanual-CA543C2-pdf

Press left on the multiselector (the one-handed clock icon). Use up/down on the multiselector to select the desired delay. Press the shutter release button halfway to focus and meter. Press the shutter release button all the way to start the self-timer.
Full details are in the "Taking Pictures with the Self-timer" section of the manual (page 32 in this copy).

Press and hold the release mode button on the top of the camera (marked with overlapping rectangles), then turn the main command dial (on the back) until the self-timer symbol (one-handed clock) appears on the command panel.

Start the self-timer by pressing the shutter release button.

To turn off the self-timer, repeat the above process to get back to single-frame, continuous low or continuous high mode.

Press the Menu button, use up/down to select "Self-timer," choose an option, then press OK. To start the self-timer, press the shutter release button as normal.

Try another battery. Even though you bought a new battery and charged it doesn't mean it is not bad.

Hi..

I have a link and some information I found on the video option to your camera. This link is for the manual located on hp.com:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?product=371583&lang=en&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&

The following is how to stop video:
To stop recording video, press and release the Video
button again; otherwise, the video will continue recording
until the camera runs out of memory.

NOTE If you have set the camera to Self-Timer or Self-Timer -
2 Shots (see Using the Self-Timer Settings on page 44),
the camera will start recording 10 seconds after you press
the Video button. However, with the Self-Timer - 2 Shots
setting, the camera only records one video clip.

After recording has stopped, the first frame of the video clip
appears on the Image Display. While it is processing, you can
delete the video clip by pressing the Menu/OK button

Good luck and please let me know if there is anything else i can hep you with--feedback would be geat.. thanks, d

Well.. I have to plug in the charger that came with the dv-179. If I use my Phone (motorola usb) charger, or a USB cable (into the computer or a hub), all it does is light up the back red light (and not the front 'self timer' led) and does not charge the camera. So remember, if the back led lights up, you've got the wrong charger!

Hi there,
by the way in setting the timer for your camera here is what you are going to do...

-turn the camera on
-set the camera in recording
-press the Right Button beside the menu button (the incomplete circle)
-and then you will see that there will an icon showing in the left side part of the screen of the camera.

Selecting the self-timer
1. Rotate the MODE DIAL to select a RECORDING mode with the exception of VOICE RECORDING mode.
2. Press the SELF-TIMER button until the desired mode indicator displays on the LCD monitor.
A 10 second, 2 second or double self-timer icon appears on the LCD monitor. In Movie Clip mode, only the 10-second self-timer will work.
•2SEC self-timer (icon of incomplete circle with 2S)
: Pressing the shutter button will allow an interval of 2 seconds before the image is
taken.
•10SEC self-timer (incomplete circle)
: Pressing the shutter button will allow an interval of 10 seconds before the image is taken.
•Double self-timer (double incomplete circle)
: A picture will be taken after about 10 seconds and 2 seconds later a second picture will be taken. When using the flash, the 2-second self-timer may be delayed for longer than 2 seconds depending on the flash charge time.
3. When you press the SHUTTER button, the picture will be taken after the
specified time has elapsed.
