The self-timer is not just a "group photo" feature. From a 2-second timer to prevent blur to smile shutters synced with facial recognition, it offers surprising versatility.
This guide introduces techniques to unlock the full potential of your self-timer. By understanding its features and creatively using them, you can significantly enhance the quality and expressiveness of your photos.
Prevent Blur with a 2-Second Timer for Sharper Shots
When using a tripod or shooting landscapes and macros, the vibration caused by pressing the shutter button can result in blurry images. This is where the 2-second timer comes in handy.

Remove any cloth covering the lens just before the shutter clicks to protect against splashes or dust while capturing a sharp, focused image.
Take Flawless Group Photos with a 10-Second Timer
The classic 10-second self-timer setting is perfect for group shots or self-portraits. Combine it with burst mode to capture the moment when everyone has their eyes open and is smiling.
This saves you the hassle of retakes and ensures natural expressions are preserved.
Make Automatic Shooting More Fun with Smart Features
The latest self-timer features include convenient modes that automatically trigger the shutter based on smiles, the number of people, or the distance of faces. By utilizing these, you can focus on capturing natural expressions and moments without worrying about timing the shutter.
