Eyepiece shutter
When using the self-timer, close the eyepiece shutter
to prevent light passing through the viewfinder. To
close the shutter, turn the eyepiece shutter lever in
the direction of the arrow.
Note
● Do not press the shutter button while standing in front of the camera; this could result in the
subject being out of focus since focusing is performed when the shutter button is pressed
halfway.
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 trigger the
shutter either right away or 2 seconds after the shutter button on the remote control is
pressed.
