Is it possible to use the self-timer to take multiple shots with one shutter click, instead of just one?

Sorry - I don't know - I rarely use the self timer. I would think that you could - but I'm not sure.

Yes, it is. I often do this when I'm shooting a scene with a broad dynamic range of light and shadow that would be impossible for the camera to capture in one exposure. So I go to AEB (automatic exposure bracketing) and set it to take one exposure set for the highlights (+2), one exposure set for the mid tones (0), and one exposure set for the shadows (-2). I have my camera set on a tripod, set for aperture priority (Av), and set for one shot and the self-timer set for 2 secs. The camera, when you push the shutter once, will then, after the 2 second delay, fire three shots in succession, giving you three exposures that can be combined into one HDR (high dynamic range) image. I have software that combines these in my computer, but the Canon EOS 5D Mark III can now also do this combining of the three exposures in-camera. I hope this helps answer your question.

yes - there is a menu option under "multiple exposure", where it shoots up to 9 exposures for one shutter release. In addition to combining the shots into a merged artsy photo, if set properly, it can also save the individual images

Aloha Phi, Yes it can if you set your camera to bulb, the remote switch has a locking mechanism that slides over the switch to continuously keep the shutter open. You'll have to manually time yourself though, as no timer is built in.

Yes You can, but you need to have a very good source of light and the shutter speed can be increased for more stability, You can get around 3 shots at a time

The Auto mode attempts to do this automatically (see manual page 44) but you can also control it directly by using Shutter Priority mode with a speed above 1/250. See manual page 49.

Yes, the Canon Elph 100HS does have a self-timer. You're probably familiar with the Program/Auto slide bar next to the ON/OFF button. After turning the camera on in Auto mode, press the FUNC SET button in the middle of the circle. You will see an orange clock-like icon in the scroll bar on the left side that says OFF. The outer circle around the FUNC SET button functions as arrow keys. Press the right side of the outer circle (where there is a Flash sign) and you will get a second scroll bar next to the first that says OFF, 10, 2, and C for Custom Timer, which I've never used. Press the bottom of the outer circle to arrow down to the choice you want. 10 is the usual choice, because then you have time to run and get in the picture. Once you have chosen how long you want the timer to take, press FUNC SET again to actually set the timer. The 10-second timer will stay on until you manually turn it off the same way you set it (FUNC SET, right side of circle, choose OFF, FUNC SET) or until you turn off the camera. In Program mode, you set the timer the same way, except there are more choices in the left scroll bar, so you have to arrow down until you reach the timer. If anything gets too messed up, turn the camera off and it will usually return to normal settings. You can download a manual for a specific camera from the internet that will describe all of the useful things your camera can do. I downloaded one for the Canon Elph 100HS, although I don't remember how I did it now. I also think you can call Canon, since the camera does not come with a manual, and they will send you one. My sister tried this, and we really like having a printed copy for easy reference, although it really is pretty thick! They would also be able to tell you how you can easily download a copy.

I set the timer for either 2 or 10 seconds. I click the shutter button, then hope and pray it's positioned right. I used this primarily for selfies (pictures of my wife and I on vacation - beats always trying to ask someone and hope they don't run off with your camera and all your pictures). Enjoy it! It's wonderful.

Yes, simply hold down the button on the controller for about 1-2 seconds and let go, but with mine I've notice that it doesn't stay locked for long especially with long exposer time lapse photos, for example: 30 second exposer over a period of an hour, it only took about 3-4 photos every time, I eventually had to babysit the shutter release and my camera to make sure it was actually taking the photos... It could be just mine that's defective... Still works great though!

Hi there, sorry for the late response but we just started using this. The shutter delay is basically non-existent, it snaps as soon as the button is pushed which is awesome! Highly recommend!

The remote function seems to work well for triggering the shutter and focusing, but I would use a single focus point.

Far as I know, it have a self timer like 2 seconds or 10 seconds that you can take pictures automatic.

Not sure if there is a pure rapid fire setting but if you select "Sport" setting in "Scene" mode, it will take 3 photos rapidly in a row with just one click of the button.

Yes, but not in the same sense as a still camera does. It does bursts. Meaning that it'll take 10-30 frames per second for each shutter activation. You can't use it like a point and shoot, and take just ONE picture.

There is not an auto shoot setting , although I am sure you could adapt the self timing function to operate in the same way.

Yes, this works as though you pushed the shutter button in any of the modes.

Yes, it does with three different settings on how long you want the camera to wait until the picture is taken. I have used this feature and it worked great.

There's a setting in the cameras menu that indicates if the shutter can be released remotely. I suppose if you have that option this device can activate it.

Well first off- you will have to be sure your camera is set to the "remote" setting. Most digital DSLR's will have a shutter release option in the menu and you must select the remote option first... and then it only work's one time! If yo want to do multiple exposures you will have to set it in the menu every time. Then second you will just have to bite the bullet and buy a new battery to see if it works then. Maybe go buy the battery at a camera store and then have the guy there test it. Good luck. I bought one for my Nikon D5100 and it works fine.
