Replacing Batteries
When replacing batteries:

) and “RE-

LEASE” (

) indicators are not displayed (see 

right).

2 Turn the camera off  and disconnect the MC-36.
3 Remove the batteries.
4 Wait until the control panel has gone out and 

insert new batteries.

When the MC-36 Is Not in Use
The MC-36 is not equipped with an off  switch.  
To reduce the drain on the batteries when the 
MC-36 is not in use, end shooting and check 
that the “TIMER ACTIVE” (

), “SET” (), and “RE-

LEASE” (

) indicators are not displayed (see 

right).  The drain on the batteries increases 
when these indicators are fl ashing.
