Note that the timer may not start or a photograph may not be taken if the camera is unable to focus or in other situations in which the shutter can not be released. Turning the camera off cancels self-timer and remote control modes. Remote control modes are cancelled automatically if no operations are performed for about five minutes after the mode is selected in Step 3.

AMovie Mode

In self-timer mode, start and stop the timer by pressing the movie- record button instead of the shutter-release button. In remote control mode, the ML-L3 shutter-release button functions as the movie-record button.

AUsing the Built-in Flash

Slide the flash pop-up control to raise the flash before shooting. Shooting will be interrupted if the flash is raised while the self-timer or delayed-remote timer is counting down.

In remote control mode, the flash starts charging while the camera is t waiting for the signal from the remote. The camera will only respond to the shutter-release button on the remote control when the flash is charged. If red-eye reduction (0 39) is used in quick-response remote mode, the shutter will be released about one second after the red-eye reduction lamp lights. In delayed remote mode, there will be about a two second delay after the shutter-release button on the remote control is pressed; the red-eye reduction lamp will then light for about one

second before the shutter is released.

ATripod Mounting Spacer

Use an optional TA-N100 tripod mounting spacer to prevent larger lenses coming into contact with the tripod head when the camera is mounted on a tripod (0 49).
