It worked at first, now the icon will not work. Cannot get the self-timer to turn on. Thank you for your help.
Hi,
reset your camera to factory default in main menu.

First thing I would look at are your batteries. Chances are, you may be using batteries which aren't recommended for your camera. Use alkalines at least. Even better, batteries with a higher mAh - like around 2500mAh would satisfy the higher power requirements of your camera.
Another option is to reset your camera. This is a fairly easy procedure which involves either going into your setup menu and choosing "reset," holding down the menu key for 5 seconds, or, removing the batteries for a few minutes. It may be that the firmware loading got corrupted and the camera just needs to be "rebooted," which is something that turning it on/off won't accomplish. But after which, you should have the camera reset to factory default settings.
Another tip is to go to Nikon's website and look for firmware updates. Download and install them.

Isn't there a button on the camera with a picture of a clock? Push that to reach the proper setting menu.
SOURCE: how do you use the self-timer on my the nikon
On your menu navigation buttons, push the left arrow to get to the timer. Then push up or down to turn the timer on. Then push the middle button to exit. Now position the camera for the picture, and push the shutter button. You will have I think about 10 seconds to position the subject. It's a cool function, have fun with it!
