Taking Pictures with the Remote Control
Use the remote control ML-L4 (supplied; A 6) to take pictures. It is convenient for
taking self-portraits and effectively eliminates blur caused by camera shake that
occurs when the shutter-release button is pressed.
• The remote control can also be used in conjunction with the self-timer.
• When recording movies, use the remote control to start and stop movie
recording.
• Use of a tripod is recommended during shooting with the remote control. In
this situation, set Vibration reduction (A 126) to Off when using a tripod
during shooting.
1 Use a tripod or other means of stabilizing the camera.
2 Frame a picture.
To use the self-timer, follow steps 1 and 2 under “Taking Pictures with the Self-timer”
(A 32) to apply self-timer settings.
To record movies, follow step 1 under “Recording Movies” (A81) to switch shooting
mode to movie mode.
Press the g or f button to activate the zoom. Press the g button to
zoom in so that the subject fills a larger area of the frame, or the f
button to zoom out, thus increasing the area visible in the frame. See
“Recording Movies” (A 81) for details on using zoom with movie
recording.
When Smile timer is set to On in smart portrait mode (A 49), and the
camera recognizes human faces, remote control operation is not
available.
3 Point the remote control at the infrared
receiver on the front or rear of the
camera (A 4, 5) and press the Q
button.
The shutter is released and a picture is saved.
Do not exceed more than approximately 5 m (16 ft.)
from the camera.
When the self-timer is used, focus is locked,
exposure is adjusted, and the self-timer begins
counting down. Once the shutter is released, the
self-timer is automatically disabled. To stop the self-
timer before a picture is taken, press the Q button again.
In movie mode, movie recording starts. Press the Q button again to stop recording.
