Focusing and shooting functions

Notes

• 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 shutter

When shooting without looking through the viewfinder, 
close the eyepiece shutter to block the viewfinder so 
that light does not enter the viewfinder and change the 
exposure. Lift the eyepiece shutter lever.

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” (

g

P. 56).

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.

• When 

<

0s

 is selected :

The focus and exposure are locked, the remote 
control lamp blinks and the picture is taken.

• When 

<

2s

 is selected :

The focus and exposure are locked, the remote 
control lamp blinks, and after approximately 2 
seconds the picture is taken.

Transmitted signal effective area

Point the remote control at the remote control receiver of the camera within the effective area 
as shown below.
When powerful lighting such as direct sunlight is shining on the remote control receiver, or 
when fluorescent light or devices emitting electrical or radio waves are nearby, it could 
narrow the effective area.
