Self-Timer (n.) A camera feature that delays the shutter release for a set amount of time after the shutter button is pressed. In mobile photography, self-timers are useful for taking group photos that include the photographer, reducing camera shake in low-light situations, or capturing self-portraits without the appearance of holding the phone. Many smartphone cameras offer various delay options and some even include features like automatic shooting when everyone in the frame is smiling.
