Precautions For Use; Caring For The Mc-36 - Nikon MC-36 Manual De Instrucciones

Precautions for Use

Check the camera battery level and number
of exposures remaining before using the MC-
En
36 (see the camera manual for details). The
timer will continue to operate even when no
pictures can be recorded due to low battery,
lack or fi lm or memory, or lack of space in the
memory buff er (digital cameras only). An AC
adapter (available separately) is recommended
for longer sessions.
Some cameras have an AF activation
option that determines whether the camera
will focus when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway (see the camera manual for
details). Enable shutter-release button AF-ac-
tivation when using the MC-36.
Please note that the timer is less accurate
than most watches or household clocks.

Avoid sudden changes in tem per a ture: Sud den chang-
es in tem per a ture, such as oc cur when en ter ing or
leav ing a heat ed build ing on a cold day, can cause

A note on electronically-controlled devices: In extreme-

The control panel: LCD displays tend to darken at
high temperatures and exhibit slower response
times at low temperatures. This does not indicate
a malfunction.
