Hi, I am trying to use the self timer function on my Nikon D90 but it doesn't seem to work. I have checked on many sites how to use it, but whenever I press the self timer button and turn the roll left and right nothing happens. The option is fixed at shooting instantly and multiple shots. I tried in all camera modes, but still cannot change the option. What am I doing wrong?

First, turn the camera off and then remove and reinstall the battery. Turn the camera back on. If the clock and battery icons still appear, try resetting the clock. If this doesn't work, contact Nikon technical support at www.nikon.com and see what they have to say. It may require a repair but determine if the camera is still under warranty. If so, Nikon may repair it at no charge.

Could you provide some details? How does it not work? Does the D90 not turn on? Does it take a picture but the flash doesn't go off? What exposure mode(s) are you using?

This lens is compatible with your Nikon D90 according to this site:

Your complaint "does not work" is rather broad, so I don't know what specific kind of problem(s) your having with it.

If you continue to have issues with it, make sure other lenses work on your D90 to eliminate the body as the source of the problem. Consider performing a 2 button reset on the D90 (and resetting any other customized settings to defaults) and try again. If it still "doesn't work" then contact Tamron to evaluate the lens for possible repair.

Good luck!

Press and hold the release mode button on the top of the camera (marked with overlapping rectangles), then turn the main command dial (on the back) until the self-timer symbol (one-handed clock) appears on the command panel.

Start the self-timer by pressing the shutter release button.

To turn off the self-timer, repeat the above process to get back to single-frame, continuous low or continuous high mode.

Having gone over a month with no response on the continuous shooting mode, I assume this is no longer a problem.

This Is the link for the D80 http://imaging.nikon.com/products/imaging/lineup/digitalcamera/slr/d80/index.htm

there is a digital tutorial online that might help you

Hi,

You have to set the drive mode to H for continuous High.

The button is on the top of the camera next to the LCD.
It has an icon of overlapping rectangles.
It sets S (single frame), L (continuous Low), H (continuous High), Self Timer and Remote Control.
Just press it again until S is shown to get back to single frame.

on the top of the camera, there is a dial which says QUAL, WB and ISO. Look for button and ring just below this. It should say S, CL, CH, Lv, a clock and Mup. Press the button to release the ring and rotate it to the clock icon to activate self timer
