3 Frame the photograph.
Check focus by pressing the shutter-
release button halfway.
4 Take the photograph.
From a distance of 5 m (16 ft) or less,
aim the transmitter on the ML-L3 at
the infrared receiver on the camera
(0 2) and press the ML-L3 shutter-
release button. In delayed remote
mode, the self-timer lamp will light for
about two seconds before the shutter
is released. In quick-response remote mode, the self-timer
lamp will flash after the shutter has been released.
Note that the timer may not start or a photograph may not be
taken if the camera is unable to focus or in other situations in
which the shutter can not be released.
A Before Using the ML-L3 Remote Control
Before using the ML-L3 for the first time, remove the clear plastic
battery-insulator sheet.
A Cover the Viewfinder
To prevent light entering via the viewfinder from appearing in the
photograph or interfering with exposure, we recommend that you
cover the viewfinder with an optional eyepiece cap (0 268) before
taking pictures without your eye to the viewfinder (0 68).
