Taking Pictures with the Remote Control
Use the remote control ML-L5 (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.
• Use of a tripod is recommended during shooting with the remote control. Set
Vibration reduction (A 150) to Off in the setup menu (A 142) when using
a tripod to stabilize the camera 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 “n Taking Pictures with the Self-timer”
(A 37) to make self-timer settings.
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.
When Smile timer is set to On in smart portrait mode (A73), and the
camera detects human faces, remote control operation is not available.
3 Point the infrared emitter of the remote
control at the infrared receiver on the
front or rear of the camera (A 4, 5) and
press the apply selection button.
The shutter is released and a picture is saved.
Point the remote control at the infrared receiver
from a distance not greater than 5 m (16 ft.).
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 apply
selection button again.
