The default time on the Nikon D90 self-timer is for 10 seconds. Does anyone know how to change it to some other time? I can't figure it out, and manual doesn't seem to help me. Thanks!
 
4 seconds on google. C3 in menu.

Oh crud, I saw that link but didn't bother to hit it cuz I thought it was just someone shooting multiple images, not showing how to set it. Thanks!
 
Yea, the 10 seconds wasn't working for me. Just trying to grab some quick images of the moon.
 
The moon?

The moon doesn't require a long exposure... in fact you dont' want a long exposure.

Try the following, and experiment a little:

Manual mode
Shutter speed = to zoom (200mm = 1/200th for example)
Aperture @ f/8

See how that looks, if it's too dark change aperture to f/5.6 if it's too light change it to f/11 for starters.

Enjoy!
 
Ahhhh.... ok thanks! I had my aperture to small at f/11 and f/16. Pics weren't looking good. Thanks!!!!
 
Have fun and please post your best attempts, the moon can be challenging - but fun as well.
