The magnetocaloric effect in single crystalline Nd_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_{3} is investigated by measuring the field-induced adiabatic change in temperature which reveals a single negative peak around 130 K well below the Curie temperature (T_C=203 K). In order to understand this unusual magnetocaloric effect, we invoke the reported {55}^Mn spin-echo nuclear magnetic resonance, electron magnetic resonance and polarized Raman scattering measurements on Nd_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_{3}. We show that this effect is a manifestation of a competition between the double exchange mechanism and correlations arising from coupled spin and lattice degrees of freedom which results in a complex ferromagnetic state. The critical behavior of Nd_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_{3} near Curie temperature is investigated to study the influence of the coupled degrees of freedom. We find a complicated behavior at low fields in which the order of the transition could not be fixed and a second-order-like behavior at high fields.
