REMOTE CONTROL NOTES

The camera can be operated up to 5m (16.4 ft.) away with the IR Remote Control RC-3 (sold separately). For detailed operation, refer to the RC-3 instruction manual. The remote-control drive mode is set with the function dial (p. 50).

Point the remote control toward the camera and press the release or the

delay button. If the built-in flash pops up when the release button is pressed, wait a few seconds for the

flash to charge and then press the release button again.

The delay button (1) delays the release of the shutter for two seconds. The release button (2) fires the shutter without a delay. The subject should be positioned within the focus frame; the focus and exposure are set when a remote-control button is pressed.

Focus lock can be used. To refocus the camera, press the shutter- release button partway. Changing the position of the mode dial cancels the focus and exposure lock.

When making bulb exposures (p. 40), the pressing the remote- control buttons once starts the exposure; pressing the button a second time ends it. The delay button delays the start of the exposure by two seconds. The remote control can also be used with multiple exposures (p. 53) and bracketing (p. 54).

To save power, the drive mode is canceled if an operation is not made within five minutes. Attach the eyepiece cap if a bright light source is behind the camera (p. 41).
