Question on Nikon self-timer

I have a D7000. I have it set up for BBF. I just discovered that the self-timer doesn't work. Is there some method to get it to work or will I have to cancel BBF? In P mode - which I use a lot - it doesn't do anything when I press the shutter release. In Auto mode, it immediately takes a picture when I press the shutter button.

I do not have a D7000 ... but a D7200 which should be similar.

Also setup with BBF.

My self-timer works in all modes : M, A, S, P, and Auto.

Could it be your shutter release is set for focus priority and you are not in focus at the time of exposure?

I finally figured it out. I switched the release -mode dial back to S and then went back to self-timer. Before, the dial must have hung up on quiet shutter-release.

I have a D7000 and a D7200 with BBF on both and the self timer works.
