how does the face self timer work?

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.

I haven't used the timer, but page 10 of the manual mentions four settings for the timer. They are off, 12 seconds, 2 seconds, and auto release. The auto release function recognizes the face of your pet and holds the exposure until your pet turns to face the camera.

No face time on 3gs. (There is a jailbreak app though).. if you want to go rogue!

I don't think it works like that, if I'm reading you right - like a timer you set to turn off. It goes by an internal clock you set ahead of time where you set the "on" time and "off" time for each event. I suppose you could set the timer right up until the moment you need it to turn on (maybe a few minutes leeway), but again, you'd have to program it to turn off also at a specific time. Hope that helps.

See edit further down... I JUST looked through the menus when I got this question... I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but under the "System Settings" menu, there's a menu called "Tool" that has a couple of settings that look like they might be used as timers ("Power Off," etc.). OK, edit... Had a chance to try it - only tried it with FM, but since it basically just totally powers down the whole unit, it should work for all functions. Using the above instructions, and using the "Power Off" menu, you can set the timer in 10-minute increments, up to 120 minutes. When done, it powers off the entire unit; to get it to turn back on, you must press and HOLD the right-most button. It was a little disconcerting when I tried to use the "Menu" button to turn it back on, and nothing happened... Once the timer has turned the unit off, the timer is reset to "0" -i.e., the timer is not active. Because of the way you set it, I was afraid it might stay set on a 10-minute turn-off until I went back in and zeroed it, but that's not the case. If you want the timer again, you have to reset it, each time. I also do not agree that it's not worth the very low price. I find the sound pretty good, the volume is good, etc. I'd like to know what some people thought they were going to get for such a low price... Then again, they may have simply received a bad unit... . .

On F770exr self timer can be set for 2 or 10 second delay after shutter button is pressed before either a single, a bracketing of 3 or continuous for 5 shots can be taken with each execution of the self timer.

That is the 5 second timer. It will start up once you have made a connection.It can be triggered accidentally but is designed to prevent you over zapping yourself. !!

Yes. You might need to set it to a lower setting for your face, but it seems to work fine.

The timer stays on previous setting. For instance, if I am baking and want to not overcook but not sure of exact time, I set 10 minutes which alerts me to check what I'm baking. Then, if I know it needs another 10 minutes, I just hit start again and the 10 will repeat. If I need to erase and enter 5 minutes, I do that. I hope that helps.

Do you need set the self-timer? If yes, you can find it in "fun/set" and choose the timer, off, 2s or 10s.

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.

Honestly, the one that I got didn't work AT ALL, self timer or no. I'm sure it would work with a self-timer if it actually DID work.

I set as many timers as I need and then I activate them one at a time or in seriatim or all at the same time. I am not certain this answers your question.

It indeed does have a self timer. 10 seconds / 2 seconds / double are the options you have Glad to be of help!

Yes It is in the software. I couldn't tell you how to get there, but I have seen it there. Fortunately it isn't too complicated. The problem I have had is fat fingers hitting the wrong button and changing things while I am trying to work with the camera. The reason I know it does have a self timer is because I pushed the button that caused it at a moment when I did not have time to stop shooting so every shot I had to shoot waiting for the timer to count down.

I haven't tested it, but I dont think the timer works unless you turn past 10 and then back to the time you want
