Using the Built-in Flash
If the flash is required, the camera will only respond to the shutter-release button on the ML-L3 once the flash has charged. In , , , and modes, the flash will begin charging when delayed remote or quick-response remote mode is selected; once the flash is charged, it will pop up automatically if required when the shutter-release button on the ML-L3 is pressed. In P, S, A, and M modes, raising the flash during the two-second count-down in delayed remote mode will cancel the two-second timer. Wait for the flash to charge and then press the shutter-release button on the ML-L3 to restart the timer.
In flash-sync 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 blink for two seconds and then light for one second before the shutter is released.
