Good to know

  • Fluorescent or LED lighting may trigger the shutter inadvertently. Try to keep the camera away from such light sources.
  • Other remote controllers that use infrared, such as one for a TV, could operate the camera unintentionally. 
  • You can use Remote Controller RC-6 (sold separately) to start and stop the movie shooting if the drive mode is <> or <>. Set the shooting timing switch to <2> (2-sec. delay), then press the transmit button. If the switch is set to <> (immediate shooting), the camera shoots a still photo.
  • If [  /  ] or [  /  ] is set, you can start/stop the movie shooting by pressing the shutter button completely or by using Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3. However, with [  /  ] or [  /  ] set, still photo shooting is not possible.
