photographs. When the lock is in the "Up" position, the camera shutter will remain open
after the shutter button on the remote control is pressed. Slide the lock to the "Down"

How can I take long (BULB) exposures using the optional RM-1
Remote Control?
The procedure is as follows:
1. Select the M (Manual) shooting mode.
2. Using the Main Dial, set the shutter speed to BULB.
3. Aim the RM-1 Remote Control at the Remote Control Receiver and press the [W]
button on the RM-1 to open the shutter.
4. Press the [T] button on the RM-1 to close the shutter.
Notes:
•
For best results, the camera should be set up on a tripod.
•
If eight minutes elapse after the [W] button is pressed, the shutter will close
automatically.
•
The shutter will not be released if the subject is not in focus. The photographer
should stand behind or to one side of the camera so that the autofocus does not
focus on the photographer.
•
Under bright light conditions, the remote control lamp may be difficult to see,
making it hard to determine whether or not the picture has been taken.
•
Zoom is not available on the remote control.

What is the purpose of the LBH-1 lithium battery holder?
The BLM-1 rechargeable battery is powerful and economical but it is sometimes
inconvenient to charge. By offering the LBH-1 battery holder, photographers have the
option to use commonly available CR123A lithium batteries to power the camera. Three
CR123A batteries will allow approximately 200 pictures to be taken.
