Using the MC-36
The MC-36 functions as:
•  An automatic timer (pp. 8–14).  Choose the de-
lay (time before shooting starts), exposure 
time, interval, and number of shots for timed 
interval photography.  Shutter speed can be 
selected with the camera if desired (pg. 14).
•  A manual release (pg. 15).  Take photographs 
manually using the shutter-release button on 
the MC-36.  Photographs can be taken manu-
ally even when the timer is running.
