When using the self-timer, first depress the shutter button halfway to lock focus and exposure. Then fully depress the shutter-release button to trigger the timer.
When the shutter-button is pressed, the photo-taker must hurry into position…hopefully before the shutter goes off.
Many digital cameras let you select the time it takes for the self-timer to release the shutter, usually between two and 10 seconds.
A tripod comes in very handy when using the self-timer. If you don't have a tripod, you will need to find a level surface to rest your camera.
Let us know that you're playing along. In the comments, tell us which actor/actress you would choose to portray your character in a movie about your life.
