Currently traveling and using my new R7 body for first time. I cannot understand how or why but the camera is often switching to self timer mode - happens whether screen open or closed. I must be touching something accidentally or using a control incorrectly but this is causing me a great deal of grief at the moment. Anyone have an idea of why this is happening?

Hi and welcome to the forum:
Have you checked that you don't have the self timer set as the default setting for shooting? I suggest checking the Q menu and check that the self-timer is not active. Also, it can be set via the M-Fn button, that is right by the shutter button. Is it possible you are somehow activating the feature from there?
For info on this, check out P509 of the manual: c005.pdf (start.canon)

The M-Fn button may in fact have been the issue. Thank you for the suggestion.

I am noticing the same issue on my R50. For me, the issue is that the thumb rest is precariously close to the button that selects the shutter mode, and you can easily click and scroll over to self timer. I was hoping there was a way to lock this out as the only alternative is finding a smaller thumb.
