• DR-E6 DC Coupler (Dummy Battery): For continuous power during studio or prolonged shooting sessions, connect the battery grip to a wall socket using a DR-E6 DC coupler (dummy battery).

Using the 2.4G Remote Control

Use the remote to select the number of continuous images, set shooting delay, exposure delay, and intervals. The backlit LCD screen on the remote provides a visual reference of your current settings.

Vertical Handheld Shooting
