REMOTE CONTROL NOTES

The date model 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 drive-mode button (p. 32).

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 flash fires

 

four times before the shutter releases. The

1

release button (2) fires the shutter without

2

a delay; the flash fires once before the

shutter releases. 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 down. Changing the position of the function dial cancels the focus and exposure lock.

The remote control can also be used with bulb exposures (p. 45), multiple exposures, and bracketing (p. 48). 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. 35).
