Before Shooting
Before proceeding, check that the clock is set correctly (0 19, 158) and
then take a test shot at current settings and view the results in the mon-
itor.
Use of a tripod is recommended. To ensure that shooting is not inter-
rupted, be sure the battery is fully charged or use an optional EH-5b AC
adapter and EP-5B power connector.
