Why does my EOS 60D remote trigger a 2-second self-timer, and how do I turn it off?

I’m using a third-party intervalometer/remote with a Canon EOS 60D for time-lapse. Each time it triggers the shutter, the camera starts a 2-second self-timer delay first. I don’t want that delay because it slows shooting and wastes battery. Is this setting controlled by the camera or the remote, and how can I disable it?

The self time or 2sec delay would be a configurable option on your camera. Follow this YouTube tutorial for details on how to enable/disable this option: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VOpuaqHqSM
Alternatively this could be an option on your intervalometer, in which case I would recommend you consult your manual. Usually though an intervalometer is a form of advanced remote. I.E. You set the time and then the intervalometer completes the circuit everytime the time finishes.

The 2-second delay is usually a shooting mode setting on the camera, not something required by the remote itself. On the EOS 60D, check the drive mode/self-timer settings and switch from the 2-second timer back to normal single shooting or the drive mode you want.
If the camera is already set correctly, then the delay may be configured on the intervalometer/remote instead. Some remotes include their own delay or timer options before triggering the shutter.
In short: first disable the 2-second self-timer in the camera menu/drive settings. If it still happens, review the intervalometer’s manual and turn off any built-in delay setting there.
