OK...Extremely irritated. I have a D3200 and my cameral model is listed in the item description. But, I can't get remote to sync or connect. Ideas?

I don't have any suggestions sorry, it worked great with the Nikon J2 that I bought it for as a gift for a friend.

Return it and buy Nikon's remote. I had the same exact problem with this thing. Only the Nikon brand remote works with the D3200

You should be able to look in your camera manual under "accessories" and see exactly what remote is compatible. If you no longer have the original manual, google one for your camera make and model.

Make sure your camera is in the mode to use the remote. I had a problem as well at first and then realized my camera was not in the mode for remote use.

Fabio.... where is the remote control socket on the D3100.. mine appeas to only have an "Accessory socket" looks similar to USB connector and is not compatible with the connector that came with the Aputure timer

Be certain the camera selection for shutter release chosen for is for remote. If you can press your shutter release button and the camera takes a picture, you haven't got the right release chosen. Go to menu then you'll need to chose remote release. Mine works on a Nikon D5100, no issues.

I have had this Remote attached to a D800 for some time and it works great. If you have it connected to the camera completely screwed in then only thing that you may want to check is that the selected channels on the receiver and the transmitter match exactly. If that's all Ok I would ask for a replacement. It's a great remote control so it is worth getting your problem resolved. Good Luck'

Good morning, Sorry it took so long to respond; I have been on vacation. I hope that your problem was resolved. I tried my unit for the first time yesterday; and the main problem that I had was making sure to push down the button down on the transmitter and hold it there for several seconds in order for it to operate. Also where to place the receiver on the camera hot shoe in order to receive the single; had the receiver facing backwards so that it would operate. Als make sure the batteries are in correctly. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. Good luck and have a great week. Jeff

I know this is really late to be responding to this. But I just called Nikon and they said that it doesn't. The only remote that works with the Nikon D40 is the crappy wireless ML-L3 model. Looks like I should have sprung the extra money for the D80. Its something about having the necessary port to actually plug it in.

I purchased it for my Nikon D3000 but the plug was incompatible. In addition, it was falsely promioted, since the Nikon does not have a remote jack. Of course, I couldn't poaaibly know if the device would function with other cameras.

the Camera Manula should indicate which remotes are compatible...also the website for the remote should indicate which cameras it is compatible with if these sources do not provide the info google compatible remotes for the D5200...Hope this helps

This information was super helpful. I had the exact same question. I tried, several times, contacting the seller with no luck. I never thought to contact Nikon. Please share if ever you find a good, inexpensive, wireless remote for the D3100. Thanks!!

I am having this same problem, which I didn't previously have with my nikon...I typically use in auto mode....any tips for settings that will render most photographs useable (right now none of my photos are useable).Beware--I'm a frustrated novice!

Check your owners manual for the specific shutter setting for remote. After you get the right setting, you may have to try different angles for pointing the remote at the "sweet spot" on the camera.

I had the same problem with my D3100. I consulted the manual, all menus, I went online for tech service, and spoke to other Nikon users. It just boiled down the incompatibility issues with my specific model. I was told very cautiously that non-Nikon remotes very much have the ability to ruin the motors inside the lenses. Since lenses are the most important and expensive component of the camera (already an investment), I sent mine back and will by trying the Nikon remote in the near future. Since the description stated that it will work but however does not, shipping (up to $5.26) is refunded. Good Luck. I had the same problem with my D3100.

JHam88: Sorry for the delay! I only checked its function with still pictures. I like your question! I intend, in the next few days, to actually use the movie function with the remote. I would surmise that it will work, but sometimes we all get surprised when something logically should work but doesn't. So, my response to you is that I will actually try it in the next few days and will post for you through this question forum. I will retain the Amazon query and will get back to you. Thanks for piquing my interest. That is how we all learn isn't it? My Best and be back to you soon.. Bob
