DBefore Using the Remote Control

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

ACover the Viewfinder

When taking photos without your eye to the viewfinder, remove the DK-20 rubber eyecup

(q) and insert the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap as shown (w). This prevents light entering via the viewfinder interfering with exposure. Hold the camera firmly when removing the rubber eyecup.

DUsing the Built-in Flash

Before taking a photograph with the flash in P, S, A, or M modes, press the M (Y) button to raise the flash and wait for the Mindicator to be displayed in the viewfinder (0 4). Shooting will be interrupted if the flash is raised while a remote control mode is in effect or after the self-timer has started. If the flash is required, the camera will only respond to the ML-L3 shutter-release button once the flash has charged. In auto or scene modes in which the flash pops up automatically, 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.

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 quick-response remote mode. 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.
