Using The Self-Timer; Eyepiece Cover; Using The Remote Control - Olympus EVOLT E-510 Instruction Manual

• During sequential shooting, if the battery check blinks due to low battery, the camera stops
shooting and starts saving the pictures you have taken on the card. The camera may not save
all of the pictures depending on how much battery power remains.

Using the self-timer

This function lets you take pictures using the self-timer. You can set the camera to release
the shutter after either 12 or 2 seconds. Fix the camera securely on a tripod for self-timer
shooting.
Press the shutter button all the way.
• A picture is taken.
• When Y12s is selected:
First, the self-timer lamp lights up for approximately 10
seconds, then it blinks for approximately 2 seconds and
3
the picture is taken.
• When Y2s is selected:
The self-timer lamp blinks for approximately 2 seconds,
then the picture is taken.
• To cancel the activated self-timer, press the j/Y/< button.
• 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.

Eyepiece cover

When shooting without looking through the viewfinder, attach the eyepiece cover to the
viewfinder so that light does not enter the viewfinder. Attach the eyepiece cover after removing
the eyecup as illustrated. The same applies when replacing with an optional eyecup.

Using the remote control

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 release the shutter either
right away or 2 seconds after the shutter button on the remote control is pressed. Bulb
shooting is also possible when using the optional remote control.
Mount the camera securely on a tripod, point the remote
control at the remote control receiver on the camera and
press the shutter button on the remote control.
• When <0s is selected:
The focus and exposure are locked, the remote control
lamp blinks and the picture is taken.
• When <2s is selected:
The focus and exposure are locked, the remote control
lamp blinks, then after approximately 2 seconds the
picture is taken.
