That doesn't work unless I focus in AF-S and then change the mode to self-timer.
Yeah, I remembered wrong. It's tracking, that's the issue. Is your back button set to Tracking On + AF On, or is the focus area set to any of the Tracking options, or are you using a Custom Hold with any tracking features turned on?
I'm using the AF-On button for regular AF-On, and AEL for Tracking On + AF-On. AEL won't work in self-timer, but AF-On will.
I'm not with my camera right now, so I can't check, but I think AF-C turns into AF-S automatically when in self-timer, and maybe a selected tracking area also turns into a regular one when switching modes, so that probably isn't the issue.
