DBefore Using the Remote Control

Before using the remote control for the first time, remove the clear plastic battery insulator sheet.

DUsing the Built-in Flash

Before taking a photograph with the flash in P, S, A, or M modes, press the Mbutton to raise the flash and wait for the Mindicator to be displayed in the viewfinder (0 58). Shooting will be interrupted if the flash is raised after the self-timer or delayed remote timer has started. In auto or scene modes in which the flash pops up automatically, the flash will begin charging when delayed remote or quick-response remote mode is selected; once the flash is charged, it will automatically pop up and fire if required when the shutter-release button on the ML-L3 is pressed. The camera will only respond to the shutter-release button on the ML-L3 once the flash has charged.

In flash modes that support red-eye reduction, the red-eye reduction lamp will light for about one second before the shutter is released. In delayed remote mode, the self-timer lamp will light for two seconds, followed by the red-eye reduction lamp, which lights for one second before the shutter is released to reduce red-eye.
