How do I use the ML-L3 remote control ?

The optional ML-L3 remote control (shown above) can be used for self-portraits or to reduce blur caused by camera shake. There are two settings that can be used with the ML-L3.

Shooting mode

Description

Delayed remote

Gives operator time to pose when taking self-portrait using

remote control.

Quick-response remote

Ensures quick shutter response; can be used to reduce blurring

caused by camera shake.

Long Time-Exposures

When the ML-L3 remote control is used in M mode, users can select Bulb Mode and set '- -' as the Camera shutter speed. At this setting, the shutter opens when the shutter-release button on the optional ML-L3 remote control is pressed (2 seconds after the button is pressed in delayed remote mode) and remains open until the remote-control shutter-release button is pressed a second time (maximum exposure time is 30 minutes). Nikon recommends using a fully-charged EN-EL3 battery or an optional EH-5 AC adapter when using long exposures. For information regarding using the ML-L3 with flash please see the Cameras User manual.

Using the ML-L3 remote control

Mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or place the camera on a stable, level surface.

Frame the photograph. In auto focus (AF) mode, the camera shutter-release button can be used to check focus, although only the shutter release-button on the remote control can be used to release the shutter. Note - To ensure correct exposure in modes other than M, cover the viewfinder eyepiece with your hand or with the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap before pressing the shutter-release button. This will prevent light entering via the viewfinder from interfering with the auto-exposure operation.

Aim the transmitter on the ML-L3 at the infra-red receiver on the camera and press the shutter-release button on the ML-L3 (when using the remote outdoors, make sure that the subject is not backlit and that the line of site between the transmitter and the infra-red receiver is not blocked by the lens or other obstacles). The maximum operational distance of the ML-L3 is 5m directly in front of the camera.

Custom Setting 2
Shooting mode	AF-S (Single-servo AF)	AF-C (Continuous-servo AF)
Delayed remote	Once camera has focused, self timer lamp will blink for 2s before shutter is released. If unable to focus, camera will return to standby without releasing shutter.	Self-timer lamp blinks for 2s before shutter is released. Camera does not focus.
Quick response remote	Shutter is released immediately after camera focuses. Self-timer lamp will flash when shooting is complete. If unable to focus, camera will return to standby without releasing shutter.	Camera releases shutter immediately without focusing. Self-timer lamp will flash when shooting is complete.

To return to single-frame or continuous shooting mode, turn the camera off or rotate the mode dial to another setting. The shooting mode in effect before remote control mode was selected will also be restored if no operations are performed for the time selected for Custom Setting 25. The default setting is one minute.

Problems? - We regularly receive complaints about the ML-L3 from Photographers who say it is faulty. Generally it is not. Here are three things to check.

Drive mode - The camera must be in the Self-timer/Remote Control mode for the ML-L3 to operate. Some cameras have more than one self-timer mode – you must use a mode with the symbol of a remote control unit. Pressing the shutter button in this mode gives you a 2 or 10-second self timer delay. Pressing the button on the ML-L3 fires the shutter immediately.

Auto Power - The ML-L3 will only operate when the camera is switched on. If your camera automatically switches off after 30 seconds without use – one of the settings on the ‘Auto power off’ menu – it does not give much time to move round to the front of the camera and fire. Also The Camera will only stay active in remote control mode for a few minutes without use , you can extend this to 15 mins using the menu

Line of sight - Infra-red devices normally need to see each other – often known as ‘line-of-sight’. Based on this, it would seem that you can only use the ML-L3 from in front of the camera, and you will find this quoted in some reviews. But it’s not strictly true. If you hold the ML-L3 a few inches above the shutter release, aiming down, the shutter will fire when you press the remote button – useful as an alternative to a remote switch. It will even operate from behind the camera if the infra-red beam is reflected back from a nearby surface . When aimed from the front of the camera the range is given as 5 metres, though this will vary with the surroundings. Infra-red devices can be affected by fluorescent lighting, but we have not experienced any problems.
