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.

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.

Think of it as a light bulb...once it gets triggered, ('switched on'), it stays on until you, or your triggering system, shuts it off or resets. It doesn't have it's own timer....same as a light bulb.

Check the internet for that model. I use the self timer and duck back in the shot.

we dont have ours on an automatic timer but it should work fine. Once you set it for the color you want, it will stay on that color if you wait at least 30 seconds after it turns off before you turn it back on. If you turn it back on in less than 30 seconds it may reset to another color but its easy to correct that if it happens. Hope that helps

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

It is a simple stop timer. It does not have the functionality to stop at the same time every day. You have to reset the timer every time it is turned off.

I'm not certain I understand the question. You set the timer for the minutes you need and when it reaches that point it will ring and turn itself off. You are always able to stop the timer by a click the buttons should you wish to for any reason.

No, it won't automatically do that. If you're near it when the timer goes off & push the red button to stop it. You can then push the Start/Stop button & it will begin a count UP. I'm thinking it will keep counting up till it reaches the maximum. But, no, it won't start a count up automatically.

I believe it has the two minute timer already program. It shuts off at the 2 minute. However with other models I have owned, there is usually a pause at the 30 second mark as so you can start on another 1/4 section of your teeth. I have yet to find a compromise with this model, as apposed to others. Hope this helps.

No I would think you would have to reset timer every time you start something. I reset timer every time I use the one I have. I guess the best way to say it the timer will count down. Then after that the timer will restart its self & count UP. FRANZ

It works both ways. By default it stays on bit if you press the timer button you can set the timer

I set the timer for either 2 or 10 seconds. I click the shutter button, then hope and pray it's positioned right. I used this primarily for selfies (pictures of my wife and I on vacation - beats always trying to ask someone and hope they don't run off with your camera and all your pictures). Enjoy it! It's wonderful.

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.

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... . .

Actually once the timer goes off it starts relapsing the time so until you stop the timer it counts how long past your set time was. So once you pause/stop the timer it shows the replapsed time, then you manually reset it :)
