Nikon (1855mm Kit) Red Mount the camera on a tripod, Select a release mode, Take the photograph

Self-Timer and Remote Control Modes

The self-timer and optional ML-L3 remote control (0 177) allow the photographer to be at a distance from the camera when a photo is taken.

1Mount the camera on a tripod.

Mount the camera on a tripod or place the camera on a stable, level surface.

2 Select a release mode.
Select E (self-timer), "(delayed remote),
or #(quick-response remote) mode (0 31;
note that if no operations are performed for
about a minute after a remote control mode
is selected, the camera will automatically	I(E/#) button
return to single frame, continuous, or quiet
shutter-release mode).

3Frame the photograph.

Remote control mode: Check focus by pressing the shutter-release button halfway. No photograph will be taken even if the button is pressed all the way down.

4Take the photograph.

Self-timer mode: Press the shutter-release button halfway to focus, and then press the button the

rest of the way down. The self-timer lamp will

start to flash and a beep will begin to sound. Two seconds before the photo is taken, the lamp will

stop flashing and the beeping will become more rapid. The shutter will be released ten seconds after the timer starts.

Remote control mode: From a distance of 5 m (16 ft) or less, aim the transmitter on the ML-L3 at either of the infrared receivers on the camera (0 1, 2) and press the ML-L3 shutter-release button. In delayed remote mode, the self- timer lamp will light for about two seconds before the shutter is released. In quick-response remote mode, the self- timer lamp will flash after the shutter has been released.

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 release modes and restores single frame, continuous, or quiet shutter-release mode.
