Overview
The TC-80N3 Timer/Remote Controller is a programmable
electronic shutter release. When you connect it to your EOS SLR
or DSLR it will allow you to control:
•
Do not use the TC-80N3 in combination with your
camera’s self-timer. Doing so may interfere with the TC-
80N3's timer function.
1. when the shutter opens (self-timer mode)
2. how frequently the shutter opens (interval
timer mode)
3. how long the shutter stays open (long-exposure timer
mode)
4. how many exposures the camera will make in total
(exposure count mode)

You can combine the self-timer with the Long Exposure
Mode for Bulb exposures. Setting your camera to Bulb will
result in a Bulb exposure only if you have set the the TC-
80N3 to Long Exposure Mode.
You can also combine modes: For example, you can program
the controller to wait five minutes, release the shutter, then take
a total of 25 exposures at five minute intervals. Refer to the
Combinations Chart for more details.
The TC-80N3 also includes a remote switch that provides the
same functions as your camera’s shutter button (auto-focus, auto-
exposure, and shutter release). When used simply as a remote
release (no timer functions), the TC-80N3 does not require battery
power.
Connecting/Disconnecting the TC-80N3

If you combine the Long Exposure Mode and Interval
Timer Mode, both will begin only after the Self-timer delay
has elapsed.
1. Remove your camera’s remote control socket cover and
place it in the holder provided on the back of the TC-80N3.
2. Insert the TC-80N3’s plug into your camera’s remote control
socket by pressing the round black base of the plug. (Note:
Touching the silver collar will prevent the plug from locking.)
To remove the plug, grasp the silver collar and pull outward.
Interval Timer Mode
