SELECTING A DRIVE MODE
4 When the picture is taken,
the self-timer lamp lights for
approx. 2 seconds and will
begin to blink slowly.
Press the drive mode button after
the picture is taken. The camera is
released from remote control
shooting mode and returns to single-
frame drive mode.
MEMO
The operating distance of the wireless
remote control is approx. 5m from in front of
the camera.
Under exposure may occur if light enters the
viewfinder during remote control shooting in
any picture or exposure mode except
manual exposure mode. Use the supplied
viewfinder cap (see page 57) or AE lock function (see page 86).
To stop the remote control operation after it has been activated, press
the drive button or turn the main/preview switch off.
If you want the camera to operate immediately (without a 3-second
delay) after pressing the shutter release button on the remote control,
use custom function number [CF13]. See pages 134 and 140.
The remote control may not operate in backlit conditions.
The remote control does not work while the flash is being charged.
When the remote control shooting mode is left unused for 5 minutes,
the single-frame drive mode will be automatically set.
The built-in flash will not be popped up automatically in the remote
control shooting mode.
See page 150 for the remote control specification.
