Not that I know of. I have the Droid and there's no timer function built-in. If you look in Android Market there are a couple programs that might do what you want. Snap Photo Pro, which sells for 99 cents, has almost a 5 star rating and it lists "timer" and "multi shot" among its features. Another one called PhotoShout will take a picture when you whistle or clap or make a noise. Hope that helps. ....Doc
