Nikon EL2 instruction manual Shutter Release Operation, Operation via Cable Release

SHUTTER RELEASE OPERATION

For sharp pictures, correct shutter releasing is just as important as steady camera holding. After advancing the film to a fresh frame, the camera is set for shutter release via the button provided at the upper right. When taking the picture, hold the camera steady (as explained previously), relax and depress the button us- ing a steady even pressure to release the camera's shut- ter—remember, a quick jab of the finger will cause camera movement and may result in a blurred photo- graph.

Operation via Cable Release

The shutter-release button can also be tripped via a ca- ble release or similar accessory for more vibration-free operation when the camera is tripod-mounted and op- erated at slow shutter speeds. And, as two mounting threads are provided, virtually any type cable release can be used. To attach an ISO-thread release (Nikon model AR-3, etc.), screw the connector into the V-shaped thread in the center of the button. For Nikon-thread releases (model AR-2, etc.), screw the connector onto the threads provided around the button. The shutter is then tripped by depressing the release plunger.
