Using the Self-Timer

The COOLPIX 950 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
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 viewfinder will start to
blink one second before the picture is taken.
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 indicator will
disappear from the control panel and LCD monitor.
