The Remote Cord Connector Cover

To prevent moisture entering via the remote cord connector from damaging the cam-
era, keep the remote cord connector cover closed in wet or humid environments.

Exposure Warning

If the limits of the exposure metering system are exceeded, one of the following in di -
ca tors will be dis played in the control panel and viewfi nder:

Color Space

Digital Vari-Program modes use the sRGB color space (

59).

The Self-Timer, Remote Control, and Remote Cord

The self-timer and optional remote accessories can be used to operate the shutter
remotely and prevent blur caused by camera shake. At default settings, the self-
timer delays shutter release until about ten seconds after the shutter-release button
is pressed (

105). The optional ML-L3 remote control offers instantaneous remote

release and remote release with a two-second delay (

107), while the optional MC-

DC1 remote cord can be used for remote release and features a shutter-release button
lock (see the MC-DC1 instruction manual for details).

P, S, A, and M Modes

In addition to the settings available in

mode, P, S,

A, and M modes offer control over such settings as
shutter speed and aperture, white balance, image op-
timization, and exposure compensation. See “Taking
Photographs” (

35).

Night portrait

Provides natural balance between main subject and back-
ground in portraits taken under low light. Lighting for por-
trait subject will seem natural even when fl ash is used.
• Tripod, self-timer (

105), and / or optional ML-L3 remote

control (

107) or MC-DC1 remote cord (

191) can be used to prevent

blurring at slow shutter speeds. At speeds slower than 1 s, use noise re-
duction to reduce mottling (

133).

• Use

mode for night shots that do not include portrait subject.

• Flash set to slow sync. Other modes can be selected (

96).
