Using the Self-Timer
The COOLPIX 800 is equipped with an automatic timer with two
settings: three seconds, useful when making group photographs,
and ten seconds, ideal for self-portraits. To use the self-timer,
follow these steps:
1 For self-portraits, mount the camera on a tripod (recom-
mended) or rest it on a flat, stable surface.
2 Press the button until the icon appears in the control
panel or LCD monitor.
3 Compose the photograph.
4 Fully depress the shutter-release button to activate the timer.
Press the shutter-release button once for a ten-second delay.
For a three-second delay, press the shutter-release button
twice.
The red-eye reduction lamp next to the flash will start to blink
before the picture is taken. The time remaining before the shutter
will be released is displayed next to the icon in the LCD monitor.
Tips
To stop the automatic timer before a photograph is taken, turn the mode
dial to a different setting. The timer will stop and the self-timer indicator
will disappear from the control panel and LCD monitor.
