[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 119746, member: 9240"] Sounds like you're looking to take some "selfies" of you and whatever you might have hauled into the boat/onto the dock that day, right? If not, the rest of this was merely a typing exercise. LOL Go into your Custom Menus under Timers and adjsut your Self-timer settings to give you enough time to get from behind the camera out in front (6-10 sec). Then have it fire off 3-10 frames allowing you to pose with your catch. Stick the camera somewhere secure and aim it at where you'd like to pose. If you can prefocus on something that will guarantee you're in focus, do that (use autofocus to lock it in, or do it manually, and then set the lens on manual focus so it doesn't hunt for something else), otherwise set it on AF-C with as many focal points as possible and move around a bit between shots so it finds you. Use A mode and set the aperture to give you enough depth of field to make sure everything you want to be in docus actually is. Depress the shutter to get the timer going, grab your fish and get your model on. You can also use your remote to actuate the timer as well, making sure you're somewhere that the camera can focus on you. [/QUOTE]
