The MC-36 shutter-release button (

) func-

tions in much the same way as the camera 
shutter-release button.

1. Adjust Camera Settings
 

Connect the MC-36 (pg. 7) and turn the 
camera on.  Choose exposure mode, shut-
ter speed, focus mode, and shooting mode 
as desired.

2. Take Pictures
2.1 Press the MC-36 shutter-release button (

) 

halfway and check focus and exposure, 
then press it the rest of the way down to 
take a picture.  While the shutter is open, 
a beep will sound at one-second intervals, 
the “RELEASE“ indicator (

) will fl ash, and 

the control panel will show the time re-
maining until the shutter closes.

To keep the shutter-release button ful-

ly pressed for bulb photography, slide the 
button to the HOLD position.  Slide it in the 
opposite direction to release the lock.

2.2 Release the button to end shooting.

The MC-36 shutter-release button can be used 
when no batteries are inserted.  The control pan-
el will remain off  and no beep will sound.

The shutter-release button can be used to re-
lease the shutter manually while the timer is ac-
tive.  Timer count-down (including the control-
panel display, release lamp, and beep) contin-
ues during manual release.  If a manual release 
overlaps with an automatic release, the shutter 
will remain open until both exposure times have 
expired.
