It has a self timer which as siluremark alluded to is poor. You need an intervalometer and the m50 has no port to accept one.
It's the sole reason I got the M6 instead if the m50.
You can get closer with a 32 over a 50 👍

If you'd have the 50mm 10 feet away, you'd have a 30mm 6 feet away. Actual distance would depend on your preference but that's a fair bit closer

How are you holding the fish and pressing the button, and is it on show in the picture?

Sometimes I get annoyed with the interval timer as you have to set it to take a lot of shots to give yourself a chance when a fish won't play ball. I have a wired remote I've made a housing for so I can press it with my knee, but I use it with the interval timer on a short delay. It just avoids getting multiple shots of me trying to control an angry carp, let's me set it to shoot just three pics, and I don't have to hit the button for each shot. I can also set it for more shots and just cancel it after a couple of decent shots by hitting the button again. It focuses for each shot with the interval timer too, whether I set it for 1 or 999 shots

Plus it means I can use a longer lens without having to step away from the fish, particularly useful when you want to obliterate the background so you don't give the location away
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
