Figure 6: Front View
units do not cover the side AF points however, so with those flashes, the camera will
use it’s own AF assist light when a side AF point is selected. When using some large
diameter lenses the left side AF assist light may be blocked by the lens barrel. The
dark red circle that houses the AF assist light, close to the shutter button, also houses
the receiver for the optional IR remote control, RC-1.
3.10 Remote Release Port
On the left side of the camera is a small hole that is actually the plug in port for the
RS-60E3 Cord Remote. Just plug it in and you can trip your shutter without touching
your camera. This makes for much steadier shots when using a tripod.
3.11 Battery Compartment
The Battery Compartment is on the bottom, on the right side. It uses a 2CR-5 lithium 6
Volt battery. Canon claims that you can expect up to 90 rolls of 24 exposure film with
one battery. Cold weather and use of the internal flash will reduce that considerably.
Below zero (F) temps and using flash on all exposures will reduce this to as little as 6
rolls of film.
