    IMPORTANT
    • Fluorescent or LED lighting may cause camera misoperation by triggering the shutter inadvertently. Try to keep the camera away from such light sources.
    • If you point a remote controller for a TV set toward the camera and operate it, it may cause camera misoperation by triggering the shutter inadvertently.
    • If flash light is emitted from a flash on another camera around this camera, it may cause camera malfunction by triggering the shutter inadvertently. Do not expose the remote control sensor to flash light from a flash on another camera.
    NOTE
    Notes for Movie Shooting
    • When [Enable] is set, you can start or stop movie shooting using Remote Controller RC-6 (sold separately). Set the RC-6’s release mode switch to <2>, then press the transmit button. If the switch is set to <> (immediate release), the < btn function> setting will be applied.
    • If [ ] or [ ] is set under the <btn function> setting, besides pressing the <> button, you can start or stop the movie shooting by pressing the shutter button completely or by using Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (each sold separately).
