Remote
The remote control should be operated within the
range shown. The remote control signal can be
blocked if the zoom lens is extended, or an accessory
such as the lens hood, or a wide-angle or telephoto
converter is attached. Backlight, and fluorescent or
bright lighting may prevent the remote control from
working.
Setting up the camera for remote control
The self-timer lamp blinks to indicate the camera has
received a signal from the remote control unit.
When the remote-control drive mode is set, the indicator appears on the
monitors.
To record still images, set the mode switch to the recording position
and select the remote control drive mode with the drive-mode
button (p. 76).
To record movies, set the mode switch on the camera to movie
recording position.
