sheet.

Using the Built-in Flash
Before taking a photograph with the flash in P, S, A, M, or 0 modes, press the M button to raise
the flash and wait for the M indicator to be displayed in the viewfinder (0 143). Shooting will
be interrupted if the flash is raised while remote control mode is in effect or after the self-
timer has started. If the flash is required, the camera will only respond to the ML-L3 shutter-
release button once the flash has charged. In auto or scene modes in which the flash pops
up automatically, the flash will begin charging when remote mode is selected; once the flash
is charged, it will automatically pop up and fire when required. Note that only one
photograph will be taken when the flash fires, regardless of the number of exposures
selected for Custom Setting c3 (Self-timer;
0 214).
In flash modes that support red-eye reduction, the red-eye reduction lamp will light for
about one second before the shutter is released. In delayed remote mode, the self-timer
lamp will light for two seconds, followed by the red-eye reduction lamp which light for one
second before the shutter is released.

Focusing in Remote Control Mode
The camera will not adjust focus in remote mirror-up mode or when continuous-servo
autofocus is selected; note however that if any autofocus mode is selected, you can focus by
pressing the camera shutter-release button halfway before shooting (pressing the button all
the way down will not release the shutter). If auto- or single-servo autofocus is selected or
the camera is in live view in delayed or quick-response remote mode, the camera will
automatically adjust focus before shooting; if the camera is unable to focus in viewfinder
photography, it will return to stand-by without releasing the shutter.

Remote Mirror-up Mode
Metering is not performed in remote mirror-up mode. Photos can not be framed in the
viewfinder while the mirror is raised.

In self-timer mode, a shutter speed of A is equivalent to approximately ¼ s.
