Manual Release

The MC-36 shutter-release button ( ) func- tions in much the same way as the camera shutter-release button.

1. Adjust Camera Settings

Connect the MC-36 (pg. 7) and turn the camera on. Choose exposure mode, shut- ter speed, focus mode, and shooting mode as desired.

2. Take Pictures

2.1 Press the MC-36 shutter-release button ( ) halfway and check focus and exposure, then press it the rest of the way down to take a picture. While the shutter is open, a beep will sound at one-second intervals, the “RELEASE“ indicator ( ) will fl ash, and

the control panel will show the time re- maining until the shutter closes.

To keep the shutter-release button ful- ly pressed for bulb photography, slide the button to the HOLD position. Slide it in the opposite direction to release the lock.

2.2Release the button to end shooting.

The MC-36 shutter-release button can be used when no batteries are inserted. The control pan- En el will remain off and no beep will sound.

The shutter-release button can be used to re- lease the shutter manually while the timer is ac- tive. Timer count-down (including the control- panel display, release lamp, and beep) contin- ues during manual release. If a manual release overlaps with an automatic release, the shutter will remain open until both exposure times have expired.
