RECORDING MOVIES WITH THE RC-3 REMOTE CONTROL
The RC-3 remote control (sold separately) can be used to record
movie clips up to 5m (16ft) away. Simply point the remote control
toward the camera and use the release or delay button start and
stop the recording.
When using the release button (1), the self-timer lamp will blink once
before the camera starts to record; when using the delay button (2),
the self-timer lamp will blink for two seconds before recording. The
lamp will glow to indicate the camera is recording. Both buttons will
stop the camera instantly when pressed. The remote control may not
operate with backlit subjects or under fluorescent light.
