I am using Canon EOS 500D, with Canon EF 1.8 USM Portrait Lens.
I would like to set a self timer continuous in drive mode for capturing 10 images continuously with 10 second intervals between the photos.
I achieved this in P (Program Mode) somehow accidentally yesterday to take portraits of my wife and myself.
Today I changed some settings and I am getting only 10 pictures continuously taken with 1 sec interval. We are in a holiday right now, trying to take our couple portraits in a self continuous drive mode. I am vexed as I could not achieve this. For your additional info, I have the Canon remote as well. I tried all the drive modes to achieve this again, but I failed to conquer it.
Lot many people are confused with the similar issue for more info
