Hello. It has been ages since I last used my Nikon d810 and I cannot figure out how to turn the self timer off. I want to shoot a Timelapse but it is greyed out I think because the timer is on. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

Not a Nikon shooter, but my other cameras have the self-timer setting in the shutter setting menu (not fps). Look for single frame, low speed sequential, rapid sequential, etc. At the end of the settings there should be a clock icon which shows a numerical value which determines the time before the self timer sequence begins.
Thank you I figured it out. My clock was not set properly

ohhh I'm in deep stuff😟
None of my camera clocks are set right !!
Just to complete the thought. The self timer is found on the upper left circular knob controlling drive settings. The little clock hands icon. Custom settings let you change the waiting time.
Interval shooting needs a clock setting because one of the start choices is to select a time.

Sounds like you're talking about the 2 or 10-second delay that allows you to get in a group photo.
" I want to shoot a Timelapse"
Perhaps what you really want is on Amazon, where god ordered light, Adam, and the rest of the Genesis stuff.

Not sure about D810, but my D850 has "Interval timer shooting" in the Photo Shooting Menu towards the end of the menu. Nikon calls it Interval timer shooting.
The shutter delay on the Release Dial cannot be selected if the in-camera intervalometer functions, which are accessed via the camera menu, are to be used.
Dpullum...yes, op wished to use interval timing but mistakenly thought self timer was interfering. He didnt know how to engage the self timer so i was trying to help him out. Wound up being alternative cause.
Higher end Nikons have an internal intervalometer and dont require the accessory units you referred to.
The D810 has a built in intervalometer. No need to buy one.
