The self-timer and remote control can be used to allow photographers to appear in 
their own photographs or prevent blur caused by the camera moving when the shut-
ter-release button is pressed.  At default settings, the self-timer delays shutter release 
until about ten seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed.  For details, see 
“Taking Photographs: The Self-Timer” (

 105).  The optional ML-L3 remote control 

can be used to release the shutter remotely, either instantaneously or with a two-sec-
ond delay.  See “Taking Photographs: Using the Remote Control” (

 107).

In addition to the settings available in 

  mode,  P,  S, 

A, and M  modes offer control over such settings as 
shutter speed and aperture, white balance, image op-
timization, and exposure compensation.  See “Taking 
Photographs” (

ground in portraits taken under low light.  Lighting for por-
trait subject will seem natural even when fl ash is used.
• Tripod, self-timer (

 105), and / or optional remote control 

(

slower than 1 s, use noise reduction to reduce mottling (

 133).

• Use 

 mode for night shots that do not include portrait subject.

• Flash set to slow sync.  Other modes can be selected (
