Hi. I want to be able to take pictures on my Canon PowerShot A460 without me having to press down on the button. Is there a self timer on it or something like that? I dont want to use the movie recording function.
Can someone pls tell me step-by step how to use it. I cant seem to find it on the manual.
Thanks

    hi.i’ve got a canon ixus 750 and the timer could be found on the large button on the camera alongside delete,flash etc.when the camera is on,press on the timer(looks like little clock)and it should appear on the camera screen.then press hard on the shutter ,you should now see a red or orange light flashing.your 10 sec timer begins from there.good luck!

    I believe you have not looked very well in the manual, I know the info is there.
    First, as previously stated, the timer is the clock looking icon on the control wheel on the rear of the camera. You will press that until the icon appears on the display screen. (You may have to go into the set up menu to adjust the timer span. It can usually be set for two seconds or ten seconds).
    Now, the camera has to be focused on something before the timer will function. You must half press the shutter to achieve focus, then press the shutter down the remainder of the way. The timer span will then start counting down, and at the end of the time, the photo will be taken.
