Self-Timer

The Self-Timer adds a countdown delay between tapping the Second Shutter button and the camera actually taking the photo — ideal for group shots, selfies, or any situation where you need a moment to get into position.

How to enable Self-Timer

Self-Timer can be assigned to the Second Shutter button on the Capture Screen. To assign and use it, follow these steps:

1. On the ProCamera Capture Screen, tap the Control Panel button.
2. Tap the Second Shutter button to display the submenu of features that can be assigned to it.
3. Select Self-Timer to assign it to the Second Shutter button.

Setting the delay time

Tap and hold the Self-Timer button to access a menu where you can quickly adjust the delay time. You can set a custom delay anywhere from 1 to 60 seconds.

Tip: For full ProTimer intervalometer controls, tap “Enable ProTimer” in the top right corner of this menu. It allows you to set a custom number of photos and the interval between them — perfect for timelapses and other long-running series.

Taking a photo with Self-Timer

Tap the Self-Timer button to start the countdown. The camera automatically takes the photo when the countdown ends.

Additional Self-Timer Options in Settings

To access these settings, open ProCamera Settings and tap Self-Timer in the Photo Mode section.

	Sets the delay between tapping the button and the photo being taken. This provides an alternative to setting the delay from the viewfinder menu by long-pressing the Self-Timer icon, as shown above.
	Automatically captures a burst of three photos instead of just one — increases your chances of getting a keeper in spontaneous or unpredictable moments like group shots and selfies.
	Locks the focus when the timer starts, if it is not already locked. This ensures that the selected focus setting is maintained even if the scene changes. Focus is automatically released after the shot.
	The iPhone's LED flashes to count down the remaining seconds.
