How to select and set the self-timer mode on the EOS 1Ds MK III

Solution

Press the <AF/DRIVE> button. ()

Select either <> or <>.

  • Look at the top LCD panel and turn the <> dial to select <> or <>.

Take the picture.

  • Focus the subject and press the shutter button completely.
  • The self-timer lamp will blink, and 10 sec. or 2 sec. later, the picture will be taken.
  • During the self-timer operation, the top LCD panel counts down the seconds until the picture is taken.
  • The lamp's blinking will become faster two seconds before the picture is taken
Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button to start the self-timer. Doing so prevents the camera from focusing the subject.
  • Use a tripod when using the self-timer.
  • Before starting the self-timer, look through the viewfinder or cover it with the eyepiece shutter
  • To cancel the self-timer after it starts, set the power switch to <OFF>.
  • When using the self-timer to shoot only yourself, use focus lock for an object at about the same distance as where you will be.
  • The 2-second self-timer is effective for close-ups or photo duplicating work to prevent camera shake (camera movement while the shutter button is pressed).
