My guess is the self timer was accidently turned on

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.

• 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.

Reset timer by holding down on-off button then press and release small round reset button. Then release on-off button. Display should flash 12:00
This timer uses CR2 battery.
If functionality is not restored after new battery and reset, then timer has probably gone bad?

Press the shutter button partway down to set the focus and exposure.
Press the shutter button all the way down to start the timer.

2 Press the shutter button fully to
take the picture.
