The remote control mode cannot be used together with continuous shooting
mode. If the “D”-dial is set to the continuous shooting mode, the camera will
expose only one frame for each activation by the remote controller.

The remote controller may not work properly if strong sunlight is shining directly
on the camera’s remote control sensor.

The camera will switch itself off after about 5 minutes of inactivity, while in the
remote control mode. To reactivate the camera, press the shutter button
“half-way down”; the remote control mode will work again.

The light entering the viewfinder can affect the exposure system of the camera.
To prevent this, use the finder cap while using the remote controller.

USING THE MIRROR LOCK-UP WITH REMOTE CONTROL

When using mirror-up mode with the remote controller, we recommend that after
adjusting the focus, fully depress the shutter button of the camera once, to
lock-up the mirror, and then release the shutter by remote control. This procedure
saves your time.

1

Set the “D”-dial to “UP” position, and set the remote control mode.

2

Press the shutter button “half-way” to focus on the subject, and set the desired
exposure. Then press the shutter button “all-way down” to raise the mirror-up
and retain the focus and exposure.

3

To take the picture, point the remote controller’s transmitting diode at the
camera and press the transmit button.

REPLACING THE REMOTE CONTROLLER BATTERY (RS-31)

The remote controller is powered by 1pc CR 2032 3V Lithium -- battery.

1

Use a coin or a similar subject to open the battery cover in the direction of the

arrow.

2

Open the bottom cover and replace the battery.

3

Use a coin or similar object to close the battery cover by rotating clockwise.

Check controller operation after replacing the battery.
