How do you take the picture?? Do you have to use the timer on the camera?? Thanks

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.

Depends on the camera. If the camera has WiFi and communicates with a smartphone, use the smartphone app. If the camera has a cable shutter release, use that. If the camera only has an IR remote, that could be a problem. Otherwise, use the timer.

As you roll the small dial to the left and right it will speed up or slow down the shutter speed. Dial located just above your right thumb as you hold the camera to take a picture( : good luck

You need to use an SD card to store the pictures. The packaging says the camera has a self timer, but I have not used it yet.

I have the same question, actually. That's the only reason I haven't bought it yet. I would love to get myself in shots, as well as the entire family, but the problem I have now with just using the camera's self-timer is that you can't autofocus on yourself when you're behind the camera! The review I read seems to say that you can't autofocus using just the remote...but B. Babb's response makes me think otherwise. I'm sure someone else out there would care to clarify...

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.

No, no delay when snapping pics. That was one of my biggest must haves as I have a young child that is always on the move. I've been very happy with this camera. No problems with the battery life. I did buy extra batteries though so I always have an extra one ready to go.

Perfectly? 1. Have you been able to use the LCD display to set a timed interval exposure? 2. did you try to use the grip's arrow buttons to move the focus point while in live mode?

I'm not sure of the exact time of the shutter lag, but I'd guess it's around a 1/4 second, maybe a tad longer. I've only had a couple situations where I wished it had no lag at all, but it does have a little lag. Much shorter than the other point-and-shot digital cameras I've had. I think about the only way to eliminate ANY lag is to go with a digital SLR, but their bulk/weight doesn't work for me for vacation snapshots.

I have taken some good pictures with it. You have to use it in manual mode. I'm not a lazy person so I don't mind using manual mode.

Facing the back of the camera there are three small buttons behind the on/off switch. The button on your right, it has an image of a clock on it, is the timer button. After you press that button you go about taking a picture in the normal way. The only difference is when you press the button to take a picture you will see, on the front of the camera, a red light flashing. This light starts flashing slow and continues to pick up speed until the picture is taken.

This is a motion activated camera, it only works when activated by motion..... You can take pictures with it in your hand by pressing the right button but is very difficult to aim that way.

We just connect the timer to the camera but don't screw it into the camera to secure it. It works great.

YES it does though it says the timer button .. you really have to hit the exposure button on the right side of the dial.I just made a video using the process today. I havent been able to take a shot while shooting video though...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY69KSvKoEk&list;=UUEjpSE4pOhftupgVjQw1UGA

Yes set the camera on "Self timer: 10 second/ Remote control" (it's where you can set the continuous shutter feature.) You can do the same with video. It's great!!!

Can someone help me to reduce the delay or shutter lag between when I press the button and when the picture actually takes? I have a one and a two year old and they only smile at me for a second and I can't seem to snap in time. Thanks

Yes, I must wait for about a second or two for the camera to reach focus. This is in the program [P] mode, or the Auto. Also, if I see a perfect picture, there is a noticeable time lapse between when I press the button and the shutter "releases" [electronically]. This means that on many occasions I have to take another picture and hope for better.

I have one and I've recently reviewed the manual. I recall there being a 10 second delay (to get in the picture), and a 2 second delay (for stabilization). The manual is downloadable from Kodak's website.
