While being unsatisfied with either 2 or 10 second timers I wanted something inbetween. So I set the custom timer to 5 sec. and tried it out. 5..4..3..2..1 *snap *snap *snap!!! It takes 3 shots!!! I was dumbfounded. Does anyone know wny it takes 3 shots with the custom timer? Im pretty sure that its not bracketing or anything .. just 3 identical shots.

I think its great, and I will definately be using this feature in the future.

I've just had a look at this and you have the choice as to how many shots it will take when you set the custom timer. 3 shots is the default.

You can set it for up to 10 shots. Nice for group portraits that you want to be in. Someone is always moving or has their eyes closed so out of several shots you might get one that is great.

That is what I was thinking. A week too late though. My family asked me to take group pics while everyone was there for new years. Oh well.
