Timer Circuit needed

Newbie Here I need to make a 2 second timer circuit for the flash from a disposable camera. now in general here is the board for the flash.

there are 2 leads for the power one AA battery
2 leads connected to an led that lites when charged about two seconds
and 2 leads that when connected trigger the flash.

I need a timer circuit that will cause the flash board to trigger after
about 2 or three seconds.

555 timer?

Which would be fine other than the fact that a 555 timer needs a minimum of 4.5V.

There is a 555 that will work from 1.5V but I can't remember the part number, perhaps someone else will.

"CMOS 555" in google will give many results and among them the LMC555, GLC555 and 7555.

Try Google or you can try the books in this site:
