Self-timer (analogue)
Zelfontspanner (analoog) · Analoog
A mechanism on analogue cameras that fires the shutter after a fixed delay (10-12 seconds).
On most analogue cameras the self-timer is a mechanical lever. You set it, press the shutter button, and the shutter fires after the delay. Useful for self-portraits or avoiding vibration from pressing the button at slow shutter speeds.
