Before Using the Remote Control
Before using the remote control for the first time, remove the clear plastic battery-insulator
sheet.
A
Cover the Viewfinder
When taking photos without your eye to the
viewfinder, remove the DK-20 rubber eyecup
(
q
) and insert the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap
as shown (
w
). This prevents light entering via
the viewfinder interfering with exposure. Hold
the camera firmly when removing the rubber
eyecup.
D
Using the Built-in Flash
Before taking a photograph with the flash in P , S , A , or M modes, press the
M
(
Y
) button to
raise the flash and wait for the M indicator to be displayed in the viewfinder ( 0 24). Shooting
will be interrupted if the flash is raised while a remote control mode is in effect or after the
self-timer has started. If the flash is required, the camera will only respond to the ML-L3
shutter-release button once the flash has charged. In auto or scene modes in which the flash
pops up automatically, the flash will begin charging when a remote control mode is
selected; once the flash is charged, it will automatically pop up and fire when required.
In flash modes that support red-eye reduction, the red-eye reduction lamp will light for
about one second before the shutter is released in quick-response remote mode. In delayed
remote mode, the self-timer lamp will light for two seconds, followed by the red-eye
reduction lamp which lights for one second before the shutter is released.
