Using the Self-Timer

The COOLPIX 700 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.

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.
