Range of Features

If your wireless controller isn’t working:

Make sure the camera and the wireless controller are both set to the same mode.
Check the mode the camera is set to by pushing any button other than the
REMOTE SET button on the wireless controller. The camera’s mode appears in
purple for about 4 seconds. Set the wireless controller’s mode accordingly by
pressing the aforementioned button combinations. If the wireless controller still
doesn’t work, change the batteries.

• The mode the camera is set to also appears for 4 seconds when you turn the

power on.

Turning off the tally lamp

The tally lamp lets you know that the
camera is recording, receiving signals
from the wireless controller or counting
down for the self-timer. However, its
flashing may be reflected into the lens
during close-up recording, or when
recording through glass.

You may therefore decide to turn it off.

To turn the tally lamp off, open the menu and select SYSTEM. Then select
TALLY LAMP, set it to OFF and close the menu.

• The tally lamp no longer flashes during recording, but it will still light up

when the camera receives a signal from the wireless controller and during
the self-timer countdown.
