On a Nikon COOLPIX P900, turning on either the 2-second self-timer or the remote-control option seems to disable exposure bracketing. Is there any way to use bracketing together with the self-timer or a remote shutter release on this camera?

Is there really no way to use bracketing with a timer or remote?
No, there isn't. When using the self timer or remote control, with regard to Continuous/Exposure bracketing, page 47 of the P900 Reference Manual states:
- When self-timer/remote control is used, a single image is shot even if Continuous H, Continuous L, Pre- shooting cache, or BSS has been set. If Intvl timer shooting is set, shooting finishes automatically after one image is shot.
- Exposure bracketing is not available.

No. On the Nikon COOLPIX P900, exposure bracketing is disabled when you use the self-timer or the camera’s remote-control mode. The camera’s manual states that with self-timer/remote control, only a single image is taken, and exposure bracketing is not available.
One community reply noted that on some Nikon DSLRs a wired remote can act like holding the shutter button down, but that does not override the P900’s documented limitation in self-timer/remote mode. So for the P900, you should expect bracketing to work only with normal shutter operation, not with the timer or remote options.
