Check points
• Use a tripod or place the camera on a stable surface before using the remote
control.
• When you are taking pictures but not looking through the viewfinder, cover the
eyepiece with the supplied eyepiece cap DK-5 (page 82) or with your hand before
pressing the shutter release button to prevent interference from stray light and
achieve correct exposure.
• The shooting distance for remote control operation is within 5m directly in front of
the camera. To shoot beyond the shooting distance of the remote control, use the
self-timer (page 40). Remote control operation cannot be performed when the
camera has extreme backlighting. Change the camera position in this case.
• If the shutter cannot be released with the remote control, change the battery inside
the remote control unit (page 87). (The life of the battery inside the remote control
unit is approx. 5 years.)
• Use one 3V CR2025 lithium battery in the remote control unit.
Long Time (Time) exposure with remote control
When the camera is set to Long Time (Time) exposure (page 62), pressing the remote
control’s shutter release button opens the camera’s shutter and pressing the shutter
release button again closes the shutter. This function is useful for shooting nighttime
scenes or stars. (Use of a tripod is recommended.) Self-timer lamp flickers slightly
once every 2 sec. during Time exposure.
