A Wireless Remote Controllers

The camera shutter can be released remotely using optional WR-R10, WR-T10, or WR-1 wireless remote controllers
(the WR-R10 requires a WR-A10 adapter; for details, see the manual provided with the controller). If Record movies is
selected for Custom Setting g4 (Assign shutter button), the shutter-release button on the wireless remote controller
can be used to start movie live view and record movies: press it halfway to start movie live view and all the way down
to start or end movie recording.

Locking Focus with the

During viewfi nder photography, focus can be locked using either of the B buttons in place of the
shutter-release button. If AF-ON only is selected for Custom Setting a4 (AF activation), the camera
will not focus when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway; instead, the camera will focus when
an B button is pressed, at which point focus will lock and remain locked until either B button is
pressed again. The in-focus indicator will not be displayed in the viewfi nder. The update changes the
behavior of the B buttons as follows:

• Before the update: The shutter could be released at any time, regardless of the options selected for
Custom Settings a1 (AF-C priority selection) and a2 (AF-S priority selection).

• After the update: When Focus is selected for Custom Setting a2 (AF-S priority selection), the shutter can
no longer be released in single-point AF AF-area mode if the camera fails to focus using single-servo
autofocus.
