Reading the manual for my Canon A510
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canona510/
I tripped across the "custom" self timer
feature.

With this I can configure the delay
to between 1 and 10 seconds.

But I can also configure how many photographs
are taken when the delay expires.

The manual makes no suggestion as to why
I would want more than 1 image.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Yes, bracketing, and multiple opportunities to get a picture in which everyone has his/her eyes open, and no dumb looks.
