<Release Socket>
The release socket has a contact for transmitting electric signals
from the Cable Switch L to operate the shutter.
• If you are shooting on autofocus ("SAF" or "CAF*) with the
Cable Switch, the shutter can be released after focusing. If you
want to shoot at a decisive moment, set the focusing mode
to "MF".
• Do not connect a commercially available, ordinary cable
release (mechanically operated type) to the release socket
because it will cause malfunction.
<Detaching the Camera Back>
The standard camera back can be removed and replaced with
the optional data back GD-2 (p. 84). To remove the camera back,
press down on camera back release pin.
