TIPS

The remote control lamp does not blink after the shutter button on the remote control is pressed:

jThe transmitted signal may not be effective if the remote control receiver is exposed to powerful lighting. Move the remote control closer to the camera and press the shutter button on the remote control again.

jThe transmitted signal may not be effective if the remote control is too far from the camera. Move the remote control closer to the camera and press the shutter button on the remote control again.

jThere is signal interference. Point the remote control toward the remote control receiver on the camera and press and hold down the CH button and the W or T zoom button on the remote control at the same time for at least three seconds until the remote control lamp on the camera blinks or a beep sound can be heard, indicating that the signal has been received.

To cancel the remote control shooting mode:

jThe remote control shooting mode will not be canceled after shooting. Press the </Y/jbutton to set to [o] (single-frame shooting), etc.

To use the shutter button on the camera in the remote control shooting mode:

jThe shutter button on the camera still works even in the remote control shooting mode.
