Just set the self-timer from MENU option, then you can take a picture. Just press capture button once and the timer will countdown automatically.

now days the timers ar all solid state , to me sounds like a timer failure or main controll board and timer

CHEEK UR POWER SETTING AND SLEEP TIMER YOU WILL FIND THE SETTINGS IN UR MANUEL......MAKE SURE SLEEP TIMER IS SET TO OFF

To turn on go to MENU / Drive mode / Self-timer.
To set delay time go to MENU / Setup / Screen 4 / Self-timer. Can set to either 2 or 10 seconds.

1. Secure the camera to a tripod or place it on a stable surface.
2. Rotate the mode dial to [S], [P], [PICT], [AV], or [M]
3. Press the Power button turn on the Camera.
4. Press arrow [>] .
5. Use up arrow or down arrow to select the desired self-timer mode.
6. Compose your scene and press the shutter button.

• The self-timer function is activated.
• The photograph is then taken after the preset time.
• To cancel the self-timer at any time, press the shutter button.

After one shot is taken, the self-timer mode is turned off.
If you wish to take another image using the self-timer, repeat these steps.

Putting Yourself in the Picture The Self Timer creates a 10-second delay between the time you press the Shutter button and the time the picture is taken. 1 Place the camera on a flat surface or use a tripod. 2 In any Still mode, press the Self Timer button. The Self Timer icon appears in the status area. 3 Compose the scene. Then press the Shutter button half-way and hold to set the exposure and focus, then press the rest of the way down. Move so that you are in the scene. The Self Timer light blinks slowly for 8 seconds (then quickly for 2 seconds) before the picture is taken. The camera "clicks" when the picture is captured. To turn off the shutter sound, see page 64. The Self Timer turns off after you take the picture or if you change modes. To cancel the Self Timer before the picture is taken, press the Self Timer button. (The Self Timer setting remains active.) To turn off the Self Timer, press the Self Timer button twice.
