If you're using a tripod, most cameras have a delay shutter. I use 2 second delay all the time (real estate photography) - I trigger it, then get my hands away, and it takes the picture.
Sometimes I actually up the time delay to give myself time to escape if I'm in the shot.
Did not know about a delay feature. I'll add it to the list of things to look for when I make a purchase. Thank you.
