The Camera Shutter-Release Button/Other Remote Control Devices
If an ML-L3 remote release mode is selected and the shutter is released by any means other
than an ML-L3 remote control (for example, the camera shutter-release button or the shutter
button on an optional remote cord or wireless remote controller), the camera will function in
single-frame release mode.

Exiting Remote Control Mode
Remote control mode is cancelled automatically if no photograph is taken before the time
selected for Custom Setting c4 (Remote on duration (ML-L3),
0 187). Remote control
mode will also be cancelled if the camera is turned off, a two-button reset is performed
(
0 72), or shooting options are reset using Reset shooting menu.

Using the Built-in Flash
Before taking a photograph with the flash in manual pop-up modes (
0 64), press the M (Y)
button to raise the flash and wait for the
M indicator to be displayed in the viewfinder (0 23).
Shooting will be interrupted if the flash is raised after the shutter-release button on the
ML-L3 is pressed. If the flash is required, the camera will only respond to the ML-L3 shutter-
release button once the flash has charged. In auto pop-up modes, the flash will begin
charging when a remote control mode is selected; once the flash is charged, it will
automatically pop up and fire when required.

Wireless Remote Controllers
Remote control is also available with various combinations of WR-R10, WR-T10, and WR-1
wireless remote controllers (
0 237), when the shutter-release buttons on the wireless
remote controllers perform the same functions as the camera shutter-release button. For
more information, see the manual provided with the remote controllers.
