Before Using the Remote Control
Before using the remote control for the first time, remove the clear plastic battery insulator
sheet.
~
Using the Built-in Flash
Before taking a photograph with the flash in P, S,
A,
or M modes, press the
~
button to raise
the flash and wait for the
~
indicator to be displayed in the viewfinder (III 42). Shooting will
be interrupted if the flash is raised after the self-timer or delayed remote timer has started.
In auto or scene modes in which the flash pops up automatically, the flash will begin
charging when delayed remote or quick-response remote mode is selected; once the flash is
charged, it will automatically pop up and fire if required when the shutter-release button on
the ML-L3 is pressed. The camera will only respond to the shutter-release button on the
ML-L3 once the flash has charged.
