Swipe your finger across the screen to select whichever is relevant to your needs, then tap the Camera button to snap a photo. These correspond to the timer settings, so off is the standard setting, 3s gives you three seconds to pose and 10s gives you 10 seconds to prepare yourself. Tap it and you’ll see three text options appear on-screen: Off, 3s and 10s. Open the Camera app and you’ll see a timer icon sitting alongside the flash, HDR and swap-camera buttons. Here’s how to use this long-awaited feature: Now with iOS 8 it’s possible to set a timer of either 3 or 10 seconds, press record then dash in front of the lens before the image is taken. Okay, so maybe that’s not the main purpose of the timer, but it’s likely to the most popular use, because no longer will users have to manually press the capture button to take a photo. Taking a selfie is easy, but with iOS 8 you can now take a full-body photo using the timer feature.
