Notes
• The shutter will not be released if the subject is not in focus.
• Under bright light conditions, the remote control lamp may be difficult to see, making it hard to
determine whether or not the picture has been taken.
• Zoom is not available on the remote control.
Bulb shooting with the remote control
Set the mode dial to M, then set the shutter speed to [BULB]. g“Bulb shooting” (P. 46)
You can select the interval from the time the mirror is raised until the shutter is released. This
diminishes camera shake caused by vibrations when the mirror moves. This feature can be
useful in astrophotography and microscope photography or other photographic situations
where a very slow shutter speed is used, and camera vibration needs to be kept to a
minimum.
