How do I use the RC-5 Remote Control?

Solution

Shoot with optional Remote Control

You can use the optional remote control (RC-5) to release the shutter from up to 5m /16.4ft. in front of the camera.

  1. Set the camera to remote control mode
    • Press the button
    • appears on the LCD panel
    • If you then press the button again disappears and the remote control mode is cancelled.
  2. Take the picture
    • Point the remote control towards the sensor on the camera and press the transmitter button
      • The red-eye reduction lamp blinks 4 times a second (or remains lit when red-eye reduction is used) and a countdown is displayed on the LCD Panel to show that the camera has received the signal from the remote control.
      • The shutter is released approximately 2 seconds later.
      • Remote control photography may not be possible if the remote control sensor on the camera is exposed to sunlight or strong fluorescent light. If this happens use the self-timer to take the picture or move the camera to another location
      • The camera's remote control function may not operate correctly if the camera is close to a fluorescent light during signal reception. If this happens, move the camera away from the fluorescent light
