Positioning of camera and receiver
.Thereceivercanbeturned360degreeS.Adjustthereceiverdirectionso
that the signal sensor is facing the transmitter. 1
Since signals reflect off walls in indoor environments, operation is possible \
with approximate positioning.
Although operation is possible up to distances of 100 meters/33O feet, the
actual distance range may be shorter due to obstacles, the directions of
the transmitter or receiver, weather, atmospheric conditions, and other
factors.
(l ,i.iii: Be sure that the receiver cord does not get in the way of the lens or signal
sensor.
':::: Do not place any objects between the transmitter and receiver. This could
prevent transmission or reception of signals.

devices while using this device. This could cause a malfunction.
Reception testing
Set the transmitter <ffif.Tr=l > switch to <TEST>.
Check that the transmitter <READY> lamp is turned on, and then point it in
the direction of the signal sensor and press the transmit button (no shot is
taken even if the button is fully pressed).

This section describes an example when the receiver power switch is set to <oN>.
When shooting, check that the transmitter <READY> lamp is turned on, and
then point it in the direction of the signal sensor and press the transmit button.
When shooting in the <1SR> setting, be sure to observe the precautions

Select < El ) or < El >.
,,;;. $g sure that the camera drive mode is
already set to <q>.
(ln the <1SR> setting, set the drive
modes for the transmitter and camera to
the same setting.)
Press the transmit button.

indicator lamp on the receiver and
performs shooting.
{f Cover the viewfinder eyepiece with the eyepiece cover to block out the light.
Shooting without blocking out the light can change the exposure due to light
entering from the viewfinder.
Adjust the focus using <MF> (manually). shooting cannot be performed
unless the focus is achieved using <AF> in some cases.
During continuous shooting, hold down the transmit button while pointing the
transmitter towards the receiver.
In < Ef > mode, signals are not received from the transmitter while the receiver
indicator lamp is turned on or flashing.
During flash photography, set the camera drive mode to <El>. lf flash
photography is performed with the camera drive mode set to <Er>, the
camera may take shots continuously even if the transmitter is set to single
shooting mode.

exposure continues while the transmit button is being held down.
During continuous shooting, keep the transmit button held down (the receiver
indicator lamp remains on during continuous shooting).
The Remote Switch RS-80N3 (soldwww.butkus.usseparately) can be used to connect to the
transmitter remote control terminal.View original page 11Page 12 · Read text
Shooting in <DELAY> mode r
This mode is used for taking commemorative photos, and other situations t
that include the user, where you do not want to capture the transmitter in the
image.
Set the transmitter < lf/FrtTt > switch to <DELAY>. ::
Press the transmit button all the way down so that the receiver indicator
lamp flashes. The photo is taken about 3.5 seconds later.
Simultaneous shooting using multiple cameras
Simultaneous shooting can be performed using multiple cameras with
':receivers attached.
The shooting method is identical to shooting with a single receiver.
Before shooting, use <TEST> mode to check that all receivers are responding. ,!l
Ultra-remote shooting using multiple LC-s
As shown in the figure, using a synchro cord with plugs on each end
(available commercially) to connect the transmitter and receiver PC
terminals enables the transmitter to be used as a relay device.
Set C and @ to the same channel, and set all @ to @ to channel <A> for
shooting.
