4 Take the photograph. Self-timer mode: Press the shutterrelease button halfway to focus, and then press the button the rest of the way down to start the self-timer. The self-timer lamp will start to blink and a beep will begin to sound. Two seconds before the photograph is taken, the self-timer lamp will stop blinking and the beeping will become more rapid. The shutter will be released ten seconds after the timer starts. The timer will not start if the camera is unable to focus or in other situations in which the shutter can not be released. z Delayed remote and quick-response remote modes: From a distance of 5 m (16 ft.) or less, 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. No picture will be taken if the camera is unable to focus or in other situations in which the shutter can not be released. If no operations are performed for about five minutes after selecting delayed remote or quick-response remote modes, the camera will automatically return to single frame or continuous mode, cancelling remote control mode. Turning the camera off cancels self-timer and remote release modes and restores single frame or continuous mode. 56
