Hi Mario L., you can check on the link given below on how to set this Sony WX80 for self portrait using a timer. Hope this helps. -Elyhttp://docs.esupport.sony.com/dvimag/DSC-WX60_WX80_WX200_guide/eng/contents/05/02/05/05.html?search=timer

turn on the camera. press the 6 o'clock position of the wheel on the back (see the timer logo). That opens the timer box on the left of the screen. push the 6 o'clock position on the wheel again to move the highlight to the icon in the box with the single person with the timer icon. The timer is now active and the camera will take a picture automatically 2 seconds after a face is detected. I would mount the camera on a tripod, set the timer and move into position in front of the camera. the camera will beep and the red light will come on when the camera is about to shoot.

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.

The bulb setting on the remote simulates holding the shutter button down. It can be used in multiple ways: 1. To take a long exposure, set the remote to bulb, and set your camera to bulb mode. When you press and hold the remote button, the shutter should open and remain open until you release the button. You determine the length of exposure. 2. To take a burst of shots, set your camera to burst mode, press and hold the button - the camera will continue taking shots until you release. 3. To take exposure bracketed shots, set the camera for exposure bracketing and for burst mode. Press and hold the shutter until the camera has taken all shots needed for bracketing and then release. Different cameras may handle bracketing in different ways.

It doesn't. You either have to use a photo app with a self-timer or use it in video mode which is how I use it.

Yes, you can set the a self timer on the ZS7 by hitting the "Q. menu" button. Use the controller to scroll left/right until you find the Self Timer settings. There is no remote control available. For taking low light shots a slave flash would be a great addition too. Just search on Amazon for the 6 dollar "slave flash." And don't forget to use "slow sync" flash on the ZS7 if you don't wish to purchase a slave flash. Hit the right arrow key on the 5-button controller and set slow-sync flash which forces the ZS7 to use a slower shutter speed, thus lowering the ISO used because the ZS7's low light images have a ton of noise and yellow blotching. Warning! Hold the camera steady! I set a minimum shutter speed of 1/2 second in the main menu by hitting the center button. You may want to try 1/2 of a second or even 1/4 of a second for safety ;). And set exposure value to -0.33 to extend the flash range - hit the up button on the 5 way controller.

There's a power switch around the shutter button. Turn it on and it should work.

Well it's a focus button as you say!To use it slide the lever lever on the side of it back or forth, when you have the subject to shoot displayed press button momentarily, it will auto focus your photo.You will see the image come into focus.

You can set the 10 sec timer. You press the button to take a picture and you have 10 seconds before the camera takes a picture. You just have to push a few buttons to change this setting beforehand.

Yes there is. Set the exposure dial to "P". This is the programed (automatic) mode.

This looks like the one my Mom had in the 80's, and yes it did have the self-portrait timer slide the lock button forward to the "s" the little red light will blink you have (if I remember correctly) about 15-20 seconds before the photo is taken!

Yes, in the menu. You must have the camera plugged in to a monitor to access the menu. There isn't a function or a button on the camera that will do it.

You simply set the timer to the length of the exposure you want then press the "timer start/stop" button. Or you can press the "Hold Button" and slide it froward. The will start the exposure and the timer will count the seconds or min. for you. When you get to 30 minutes, which seems rather long for astrophotography with out an EQ mount, you would slide the button back and the exposure stops. (FYI:Your camera would have to be set to "Bulb" for that kind of exposure:-) Clear Skies - For more on astrophotography visit Dakota Starry Nights on youtube

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.

Yes, the VR-340 has a self timer. It has three settings: OFF, 12 Second delay, and 2 second delay. It is changeable via a drop down menu based on the operating mode (i.e. P - Program mode, iAuto - Intelligent Auto mode) you choose. It is very straight forward and easy to operate / change. The camera also has a tripod socket on the bottom for a digital point and shoot tripod. A handy item to have around if using the self timer.

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!

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.
