Taking Photographs—Using a Remote Control

To use the remote control:

Mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or place the camera on a

1 stable, level surface.

Press the

button and rotate main com-

2 mand dial until (delayed remote) or(quick response remote) is displayed in the control panel.

3 Frame the photograph. In autofocus (AF) mode, the camera shutter-release button can be used to check focus, although only the shutter release-button on the remote control can be used to release the shutter.

Cover the Viewfinder

To ensure correct exposure in modes other than M, cover the viewfinder eyepiece with your hand or with the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap before pressing the shutter-release button. This will prevent light entering via the viewfinder from interfering with the autoexposure operation. The DK-5 can be attached by removing the viewfinder eyepiece cup and slid- ing the DK-5 down to cover the viewfinder eyepiece.

1—Beep (138)

This option controls the beep that sounds during the two-second count-down in de- layed remote mode or when the shutter is released in quick-response remote mode.

25—Remote (154)

The length of time before the camera automatically cancels delayed remote or quick- response remote mode can be chosen from one, five, ten, or fifteen minutes.
