•Releasing the shutter button will end the exposure.

•The monitors will be blank during the exposure. If on, the shutter sound effect will signal the end of the exposure. The monitors will remain blank for a period equal to the exposure time while noise- reduction processing is applied to the image

ATTACHING A REMOTE CORD (SOLD SEPARATELY)

The optional remote cords (RC-1000S or RC-1000L) can be used to reduce vibrations from touching the camera during long exposures.

Remove the remote-control terminal cover.

• Use the notch on the right side of the cover.

• The cover is attached to the body to prevent loss.

Insert the plug of the cord into the terminal.
