ABefore Using the ML-L3 Remote Control

Before using the ML-L3 for the first time, remove the clear plastic battery-insulator sheet.

ACover the Viewfinder

To prevent light entering via the viewfinder interfering with exposure, remove the rubber eyecup and cover the viewfinder with the supplied eyepiece cap (0 50).

AThe Camera Shutter-Release Button/Other Remote Control Devices

If an ML-L3 remote release mode is selected and the shutter is released by any means other than an ML-L3 remote control (for example, the camera shutter-release button or the shutter button on an optional remote cord or wireless remote controller), the camera will function in single-frame release mode.

AExiting Remote Control Mode

Remote control mode is cancelled automatically if no photograph is taken before the time selected for Custom Setting c4 (Remote on duration (ML-L3), 0 187). Remote control mode will also be cancelled if the camera is turned off, a two-button reset is performed (0 72), or shooting options are reset using Reset shooting menu.

AUsing the Built-in Flash

Before taking a photograph with the flash in manual pop-up modes (0 64), press the M(Y) button to raise the flash and wait for the Mindicator to be displayed in the viewfinder (0 23). Shooting will be interrupted if the flash is raised after the shutter-release button on the ML-L3 is pressed. If the flash is required, the camera will only respond to the ML-L3 shutter- release button once the flash has charged. In auto pop-up modes, the flash will begin charging when a remote control mode is selected; once the flash is charged, it will automatically pop up and fire when required.

AWireless Remote Controllers

Remote control is also available with various combinations of WR-R10, WR-T10, and WR-1 wireless remote controllers (0 237), when the shutter-release buttons on the wireless remote controllers perform the same functions as the camera shutter-release button. For more information, see the manual provided with the remote controllers.
