● Filters
Neutral Color (NC) filter
s can be used to protect the lens.
Filters may cause ghosting when the subject is framed against a bright light, or when a bright
light source is in the frame. Filters can be removed if ghosting occurs.
Matrix metering may not produce the desired results with filters with exposure factors (filter
factors) over 1× (Y44, Y48, Y52, O56, R60, X0, X1, C‑PL, ND2S, ND4, ND4S, ND8, ND8S, ND400,
A2, A12, B2, B8, B12); we suggest that [Center-weighted metering] be selected instead. See the
documentation provided with the filter for details.
Filters intended for special-effects photography may interfere with autofocus or the in-focus
indicator (I).
● Remote Terminal Accessories
The camera is equipped with a ten-pin remote terminal for remote control and automatic
photography.
Be sure to replace the terminal cap when the terminal is not in use. Dust or other foreign matter
accumulating in the terminal contacts could cause the camera to malfunction.
MC‑22/MC‑22A Remote Cords (length approximately 1m/3.3ft): Remote shutter releases
with blue, yellow, and black terminals for connection to remote shutter-triggering devices,
allowing control via sound or electronic signals.
MC‑30/MC‑30A Remote Cords (length approximately 80cm/2.7ft): Remote shutter releases;
can be used to reduce camera shake.
MC‑36/MC‑36A Remote Cords (length approximately 85cm/2.8ft): Remote shutter releases
with timers for interval-timer photography.
MC‑21/MC‑21A Extension Cords (length approximately 3m/9.9ft): Can be connected to
ML‑3 or MC‑series 20, 22, 22A, 23, 23A, 25, 25A, 30, 30A, 36, or 36A, but note that two or more
extension cords cannot be connected together.
MC‑23/MC‑23A Connecting Cords (length approximately 40cm/1.4ft): Use an MC‑23 or
23A to connect two cameras via their ten-pin terminals for simultaneous operation.
MC‑25/MC‑25A Adapter Cords (length approximately 20cm/7.9in.): Ten-pin to two-pin
adapter cords for connection to devices with two-pin terminals, including the MW‑2 radio
control set, MT‑2 intervalometer, and ML‑2 modulite remote control set.
WR‑A10 WR Adapter: An adapter used to connect WR‑R10 wireless remote controllers to
cameras with ten-pin remote terminals.
ML‑3 Modulite Remote Control Set: Allows infrared remote control at ranges of up to 8m
(26.2ft).
