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 cover
When shooting without looking through the viewfinder, attach the eyepiece cover to the
viewfinder to prevent the light entering the viewfinder from changing the exposure. Attach the
eyepiece cover after removing the eyecup as illustrated. The same applies when replacing
with an optional eyecup.
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. 61).
Shooting can also be done using an optional remote control cable (RM-UC1).
