How can I do time lapse photography on a Canon Powershot SX40 HS?

Answer:
I just downloaded the manual for your camera, but it doesn't mention time lapse (only the self timer), therefore you can't do it. You may be able to purchase an external gadget for it, such as this one: http://www.instructables.com/id/Intervalometer-for-Canon-and-Nikon-cameras/

The great thing about the Powershot line is there's free software that lets you take time-lapse shots at set intervals and even leave the shutter open longer than normal (which answers another question you posted). This software is called CHDK and I've put a link to the alpha version of the SX40's software below. You can either try working with the alpha version or wait for someone to make a more stable beta version. I'm also including an article I wrote about installing CHDK on my Powershot and one about installing a time-lapse program. Good luck and feel free to leave a comment if you need any help.

On the older canon powershots, I think you can do this within the settings in the video mode.
