•

Do not press the shutter button while standing in front of the camera; this could result in the subject

being out of focus since focusing is performed when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

Eyepiece cover

When shooting without looking through the viewfinder, attach the eyepiece cover to the

viewfinder to prevent the light entering the viewfinder from changing the exposure. Attach the

eyepiece cover after removing the eyecup as illustrated. The same applies when replacing with

an optional eyecup.

By using the optional remote control (RM-1), you can take a picture with yourself in it or a night

scene without touching the camera.

The camera can be set to release the shutter either right away or 2 seconds after the shutter

button on the remote control is pressed. Bulb shooting is also possible when using the optional

remote control.

For the setting method, see “Sequential shooting” (

P. 5 5 ).

Mount the camera securely on a tripod, point the remote

control at the remote control receiver on the camera and

press the shutter button on the remote control.
