Using The Self-Timer - Canon EOS 1 Instructions Manual

4. Using the Self-Timer [

Two built-in self-timer modes let you delay the exposure 10 seconds or 2
seconds from when you press the shutter button. When using the self-
timer, place the camera on a tripod or a steady surface.
ONE SHOT
Use the 10-second self-timer when taking a picture of a group of people or a scene that
you want to be a part of, and use the 2-second self-timer when you want to minimize cam-
era-shake (camera vibration induced when the shutter button is pressed) while taking
close-up pictures or duplicate photos.
