D Before Using the ML-L3 Remote Control Before using the ML-L3 for the first time, remove the clear plastic battery-insulator sheet. D Remote Control Photography Note that the shutter may not respond to the ML-L3 remote control if there is a bright light source behind the camera. In $-quick response (ML-L3) -and %-delayed release (ML-L3)- release modes, the camera responds only to the shutter-release button on the ML-L3 remote control. A Using the Built-in Flash To use the flash, slide the flash pop-up control to raise the flash before shooting. The flash will not fire if it is raised while the self-timer or delayed remote release timer is counting down. Note that when the flash is used in self-timer mode, only one photograph will be taken when the flash fires, regardless of the number of exposures selected for Selftimer in the setup menu (0 188). In remote control modes, the flash begins charging when remote control mode is selected; once the flash is k charged, it will automatically fire when required. The camera will only respond to the ML-L3 shutter-release button once the flash has charged. In flash modes that support red-eye reduction, shutter release will be delayed for about a second to allow red-eye reduction to take effect. A See Also The Self-timer and Remote on duration (ML-L3) options in the setup menu can be used to choose the duration of the self-timer and the number of shots taken and how long the camera will wait for a signal from the remote (0 188, 189). 68
