Using The Self-Timer - Nikon COOLPIX S3400 Reference Manual

Using the Self-timer

The camera is equipped with a self-timer that releases the shutter ten seconds or two
seconds after you press the shutter-release button. The self-timer is useful when you want to
be in the image you are taking, and when you want to avoid the effects of camera shake that
occur when you press the shutter-release button. When using the self-timer, use of a tripod is
recommended.
Press the multi selector J (n self-timer).
