Using The Self-Timer - Nikon s4300 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 picture 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. Set Vibration
reduction to Off in the setup menu (A88) when using a tripod to stabilize the
camera during shooting.
