Self-Timer.

One of my favorite features on my camera and all cameras these days is the self-timer.  It takes ages to get the photo just right and set up properly - at the right height, angle, etc.  And then you have to position yourselves accordingly to actually fit within the frame of the lens.  The cool thing about my camera is that you can set it up to take like 10 photos in one go - so you have enough time to tilt your head, change your smile, mess with your hair, shift your legs, etc, before the camera flashes again - or not.  We took a few photos and it is extremely clear that someone was unaware that the camera was actually taking photos the entire time.

Here are a few examples from the self-timer.

can you spot the difference between the two top photos??
