I am shooting with the 5D Mark II. I want to set the timer function to photograph myself, will it re-autofocus for each shot it takes in timer mode?

I also use this with my 5DII. I just tested it and the camera will refocus before the shot. If you don't want that, you can just turn off auto-focus on the lens.

I have a strong feeling it won't but don't take my word for it since I haven't tried it myself. I did use the timer star shooting star trails and such but not self portrait. This is probably more of a camera function related question so you might get a better answer from say 5d mkii yahoo groups or somewhere similar. I searched google and it came up with, oddly enough a remote that looks very much like this. http://www.learn.usa.canon.com/app/pdfs/quickguides/CDLC_TC-80N3_QuickGuide.pdf Perhaps a quick call to Canon's customer service using Canon's own remote herein will get you some answers. Good luck.

Assuming you mean to set a timer to delay taking the picture, the answer is no. AT least I have not founfd a way to do this.

On my d90 and d3300, it does take longer intervals. The idea is that this will hit the shutter release button for you at any time interval you set, so u can put it on any setting. But make sure to have the focus on manual or it'll refocus every shot before taking it.

Yes, with manual focus. The light meter will work for auto-exposure, but you will likely have to use some exposure compensation due to the lens's small image circle (the meter will be confused by the black edges of the image).

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

Mine works perfectly on my 5D Mk3 and my 6d. You have to set it to one of the self-timer modes.

Can one simply turn off the autofocus and use the manual focus ring while in video mode? I hope so, I just ordered a HS20. Should have it early next week.
709150
Yes. The camera has a "self timer" option. When composing your picture, pressing the Function button brings up the timer option where you can select the default 10 second delay, or choose an alternate time delay. Then press the shutter button and the camera will flash a warning light (and beep), increasing in speed until the shutter is released and the picture is taken.

There is not an auto shoot setting , although I am sure you could adapt the self timing function to operate in the same way.
902776
Nope. Once you've set it (turn it on), as I recall, everything is automatic. As with any new touch-screen device it may take awhile for you to get the hang of the menu operation but once you've played with it for a day or two you'll have it down and some of the features are not the kinda stuff that a "regular" point-and-shoot photographer should be playing with anyway....they won't help produce a better shot in the context of how I use the camera, at least. There are about ten settings I even care about and once I've set them, I pretty much forget about them. Hope this is useful to you.

My camera has two modes. One is a time delay feature. So I'll get everything ready, set a delay, hold the camera out and wait for the timer. The other mode is a rapid picture mode. It allows me to have the camera take pictures once a minute until it runs out of memory. So I set the camera to start taking time slice pictures. The first few pictures are me positioning the camera and throw away. The last few pictures are me turning the camera off and throw away. Hopefully I get a few good pictures in the middle. It has been a little trial and error but I'm getting better at it.

As stated by the other respondents, yes it has autofocus which can be switched off to manually focus. I've had no issues with the autofocus on my Canon 40d. I also own a sigma 1.4 teleconverter. With the teleconverter on the autofocus doesn't work and you have to focus manually. I've found that 500 is usually plenty of range so honestly I've only had the teleconverter on it once and then only to play around. I was also highly impressed with the OS (Optical Stabilization) on this lens. It is very heavy, but with the OS it is actually not nearly as hard to hand hold as I thought it would be. (But I always use a tripod if I can... no kidding it's very heavy!) Hope this helps! -ed

I don't have a 7D I have a 5D Mark iii. The remote switch acts just like the shutter button on the camera when I use it. Half press gives a beep only when focus lock has been achieved, full press and the shutter is activated, no beep at that time and it also locks for long or timed exposures. I have the lesser model too that I use with a 60D it does the same thing with no problems. You might check your setting for focus on the camera i.e. one shot, AI Focus, or AI Servo. My remotes seem to work great, use them all the time....if this doesn't help maybe try contacting canon.

I assume that you intended to ask "how well" it works??? You set the dial and frame the picture, and press the shutter button. You can see the timer light blinking until the shot. If you set multiple shots, the indicator light stays on. The pictures are terrific. Read the instruction book. You can download a copy on line.

Yes. The "M" setting on the dial allows you to set ISO, aperture, shutter, etc. manually.

I do not recall if it does. I returned it shortly after purchase because all it took was grainy pictures no matter the settings. It was replaced with a similarly priced Pentax Optio S1 in an aqua color shell, and that camera does have several self timer settings on it.

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.
