[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 579332, member: 27017"] I agree with Danino. Use a cable release which can be had for about $20 or so dollars. Some also have the benefit of setting timing for sequential shots, etc. I bought one (Polaroid brand) not long ago. I have only used it a couple of times, but it seems to work well. On the self timer option, I have to confess a little. The other day, I was asked to take a group photo which I was supposed to be in. The cable release wasn't long enough. The ML-3 would not work because I couldn't find the menu option on the D7100. I had not used it before on that camera, but had on the D5300 which was easy to find. Then I decided I would use the timer option. I went through the menu options and found how to change for 10s to 3s etc, but not how to set it to activate. Later that night (much later after it was not needed any more), I remembered that I had the manual on my phone and found that it was right in front of me all of the time. The dial under the mode dial. Duh! My solution for my ignorance was to take two photos. One which included all but myself and one that included myself but not one other person who pushed the shutter for the second photo and then using poor mans PhotoShop (Gimp) putting the two photos together.
