Pressing any button while the LCD panel is illuminated prolongs the illumination.
• Use a lens which provides an infrared index. With L-series lenses which do not
have an infrared index, there is no need to compensate for infrared film.
• It is recommended that you also take back-up pictures at slightly nearer and
farther distances centering on the infrared index’s distance.
• Also refer to the infrared film’s instructions.
• Using a red filter enhances the infrared film’s effects.
• The focusing distance need not be adjusted with color infrared film.
