[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 577885, member: 12496"] I'm not familiar with D5200, so I could be wrong, but read your manual. The regular self timer mode should only take one click to start it, using the shutter button should be no issue (then get your hand off of it while it times down). I suspect you may be using the ML-L3 remote... that remote menu does need more clicks. Another way is that one of these MC-DC2 compatible inexpensive interval timers would do it. Most (not all) of these with same appearance are the same import item with different names on it.

These are knockoffs of the Nikon MC-36 timer (about $160), identical in form and function. I have one for $20 with a Yongnuo label on it. Works well. Camera is in Bulb mode (manual). You would set an exposure time, say 2 seconds. And also an interval, say 10 seconds. And the number of total shots you wanted, say 10. Then it does that when started. The 10 and 2 second woulds give you 8 seconds to change the camera aim, and get your hands off of it to let it settle down for next shot. The camera self timer would not be used. [/QUOTE]
