My Recommendation: There are times when you want the
light meter to stay on longer, or for less time, than normal.
When I’m shooting multiple exposures, I set Auto meter-off
delay to No limit. However, when I’m shooting normally, it
stays at either 6 s or 8 s. The longer the meter stays on, the
shorter the battery life, so only extend the meter time if you
really need it. You can adjust it from 4 s to No limit. Easy
enough!
Self-Timer (Delay)
Custom setting C3 (D300S and D300)
(User’s Manual – D300S page 273; D300 page 280)
The D300S and D300 vary the name of this setting by one
word. The D300S calls it Self-timer, while the D300 calls it
Self-timer delay. It works exactly the same way.
When you select self-timer on the Release mode dial and
press the Shutter-release button the self-timer activates and
waits for the Self-timer delay to end and then fires the shutter.
You can adjust the time of this delay from 2 seconds to 20
seconds.

or self-portraits, do you find yourself running like a wild
person trying to get in position before the camera fires? Have
you ever knocked anyone or anything down or tripped and
