Check pOints

•Use a tripod or place the camera on a stable surface before using the remote control.

•When you are taking pictures but not looking through the viewfinder, cover the eyepiece with the supplied eyepiece cap DK-5 (page 3) or with your hand before pressing the shutter release button to prevent interference from stray light and achieve correct exposure.

•The shooting distance for remote control operation is within 5m (16 ft.) directly in front of the camera. To shoot beyond the shooting distance of the remote control , use the self-timer (page 40). Remote control operation cannot be performed when the camera has extreme backlighting. Change the camera position in this case.

•If the shutter cannot be released with the remote control, change the battery inside the remote control unit (page 72). (The life of the battery inside the remote control unit is approx. 5 years.)

•Use one 3V CR2025 lithium battery in the remote control unit.
