Changing Shooting Settings
Releasing the Shutter
4 Shoot.
Self-timer: Press the camera shutter-release button
halfway to focus, then press it the rest of the way
down to start the self-timer. The self-timer lamp will
start to blink, stopping two seconds before the
photograph is shot.
The release mode is set to Single frame or
Continuous after the shutter is released.
Remote control: From a distance of 5m (16ft.) or less, aim the
transmitter on the ML-L3 at the infrared receiver on the camera and
press the shutter-release button on the ML-L3. In delayed remote
mode, the self-timer lamp will light for about two seconds before the
shutter is released. In quick-response remote mode, the self-timer
lamp will flash after the shutter has been released.
C Eyepiece Cap
Attach the eyepiece cap to the viewfinder
eyepiece with remote shooting. Remove
Rubber Eyecup DK-20 and insert the
supplied Eyepiece Cap DK-5 as shown at
right. This prevents light entering via the
viewfinder interfering with exposure.
Hold the camera steady when removing
the rubber eyecup.
Remove the Rubber Eyecup DK-20 when attaching other viewfinder eyepiece accessories (A 155).
C Turning off the Self-Timer
The self-timer mode is turned off when the camera is turned off. Single-frame or continuous release
mode is automatically restored when self-timer mode ends.
C More Information
For more information about changing the length of time the camera will wait for a signal from the
remote before canceling delayed or quick-response remote modes, see Custom Setting 17 (Remote
on Duration; A 115)
