For movies shot using the self-timer, [Delay] represents the delay  
before recording begins, but the [Shots] setting has no effect.  
When you specify multiple shots, image brightness and white balance are  
determined by the first shot. More time is required between shots when the  
flash fires or when you have specified to take many shots. Shooting will stop  
automatically when the memory card becomes full.  
When a delay longer than two seconds is specified, two seconds before the
