Nikon D200 Manuel D’Utilisation

The self-timer can be used to reduce camera shake or for self-portraits.

  Mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or place the camera on a 

stable, level sur face.

  Press the shoot ing mode dial lock release and 

ro tate the shoot ing mode dial to select 

 (self-

tim er  mode).

  Frame the photograph and fo cus.  If autofocus 

is in eff ect, be sure not to block the lens when 
activating the self-timer.  In single-servo autofo-
cus (

 51), pho to graphs can only be tak en if the 

in-focus (

●) indicator ap pears in the viewfi nder.

In  exposure modes other than manual, remove the 
viewfi nder eyepiece cup and insert the supplied DK-5 
eyepiece cap as shown.  This pre vents light entering 
via the viewfi nder from in ter fer ing with exposure.

  Press the shutter-release button all the way 

down to start the self-timer.  The self-tim er lamp 
(AF-assist lamp) will start to blink and a beep will 
begin to sound.  Two seconds before the photo-
graph is taken, the self-timer lamp will stop blinking and the beeping will 
become more rapid.

The self-timer will be cancelled if the built-in fl ash is raised before the picture is 
taken.  To start the timer after raising the fl ash, wait until the fl ash-ready indicator is 
displayed in the viewfi nder and then press the shutter-release button.

To turn the self-timer off  before a pho to graph is tak en, press the mode dial lock 
release and turn the mode dial to an oth er set ting.

In self-timer mode, a shutter speed of 

 is equivalent to approximately 

1

6

 s.

Self-timer delay can be set to 2 s, 5 s, 10 s (the default setting), or 20 s.
