FOREWORD
Thank
you
for
purchasing
the
Nikon
Modulite
Remote
Control
Set
ML
-3.
The
Nikon
ML
-3
combines
a
transmitter
and
receiver
for
the
remote
control
of
F5,
F100,
F90X/N90s,
F90-Series/N90
or
D1
camera
by
infrared
ray.
Its
maximum
effective
range
is
8m
(26.2
ft
.).
The
ML
-3
is
designed
so
the
transmission
button
operates
the
same
way
as
the
shutter
release
button
on
the
camera.
For
example,
lightly
pressing
the
transmission
button
turns
on
the
camera's
exposure
meter
and
starts
autofocus
detection.
Changeover
from
single
to
continuous
shutter
release
can
be
accomplished
directly
from
the
transmitter
and,
when
set,
continuous
release
is
activated
by
pressing
the
transmission
button.
The
ML
-3
also
offers
a
delay
mode
that
releases
the
shutter
release
approximately
three
seconds
after
you
press
the
transmission
button.
Since
two
channels
can
be
selected
for
signal
transmission
using
the
above
-
mentioned
functions,
two
ML
-3
units
can
be
used
in
the
same
location,
at
the
same
time.
Also,
the
shutter
is
released
without
pressing
the
transmission
button
when
the
subject
crosses
the
point
between
the
transmitter
and
the
receiver
which
manually
focuses
in
advance
using
the
auto
trigger
function.
This
is
especially
convenient
when
you
want
to
take
a
picture,
for
example,
of
a
small
animal
that
is
sensitive
to
human
presence.
When
the
transmitter
of
the
ML
-2
is
used
with
the
receiver
of
the
ML
-3,
the
maximum
operating
distance
is
extended
to
100m
away
from
the
receiver,
and
a
number
of
F5,
F100,
F90X/N90s
or
F90-Series/N90
cameras
can
be
operated
simultaneously
by
using
the
ML
-2's
ALL
mode.
For
optimum
results,
read
this
manual
and
the
instruction
manual
of
your
camera
thoroughly.
Infrared
rays
from
the
transmission
head
can
cause
eye
damage.
Do
not
look
into
the
transmission
head
during
transmission.
