Using a Remote Control Use the optional ML-L3 remote control for self-portraits ( 123) or to operate the camera remotely. Before Using the Remote Control Before using the remote control for the first time, remove the clear plastic battery insulator sheet. 1 Mount the camera on a tripod or place the camera on a stable, level surface. 2 Press the button to select one of the following modes: Mode Delayed remote Shutter released about 2 s after remote shutter-release button is pressed. Quick-response Shutter released when remote shutter-release remote button is pressed. The camera will enter stand-by mode. At default settings, single frame or continuous shooting mode will be restored if no operations are performed for about a minute. 3 Frame the photograph. If autofocus is in effect, the camera shutter-release button can be used to set focus, although only the shutter-release button on the remote control can be used to release the shutter. 4 In modes other than M, remove the viewfinder eyepiece cup and insert the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap as shown. This prevents light entering via the viewfinder interfering with exposure. 5 Aim the transmitter on the ML-L3 at the infrared receiver on the camera and press the shutter-release button on the ML-L3. In delayed remote mode, the self-timer lamp will light for about two seconds before the shutter is released. In quick-response remote mode, the self-timer lamp will flash after the shutter has been released. If AF-A or AF-S is selected in autofocus mode ( 29), the camera will return to stand-by mode without releasing the shutter if unable to focus. The camera will release the shutter without focusing in manual focus mode, if AF-C is selected in autofocus mode, or if the camera has already been focused using the camera shutter-release button (see step 3). Remote control mode can be cancelled by selecting another shooting mode. Single-frame or continuous shooting mode will be restored if the camera is turned off or no operations are about one minute. 38 Reference: More on Photography (All Modes) / Choosing a Shooting Mode
