Best Answer

Well your question wasn't specific so I'll tell you how to set it up along with using it.

To set it up, press the menu button on the left hand side of the camera. Go down to the wrench button and scroll down a ways until you see "Self-timer delay." Go to that and select however many seconds you want.

To use it, press the Fn button underneath the D3000 sign. Then, click the button you would press to normally take a picture and it should work.

Press and hold down the button to the left of the viewfinder (not the BKT button, but the one right next to it), and rotate the command dial (the one above the CF card slot door) until you see the "clock" icon in the top display screen. Then press the shutter button to start the timer.
