Eyepiece shutter
When shooting without looking through the viewfinder,
close the eyepiece shutter to block the viewfinder so that
light does not enter the viewfinder and change the
exposure. Lift the eyepiece shutter lever.
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” (
gP. 59).
Mount the camera securely on a tripod, point the
remote control at the remote control receiver on the
camera and press the shutter button on the remote
control.
• When <0s is selected:
The focus and exposure are locked, the remote control lamp
blinks and the picture is taken.
• When <2s is selected:
The focus and exposure are locked, the remote control lamp
blinks, and after approximately 2 seconds the picture is
taken.
