Will this remote work from behind the camera? Thanks, Dana

No, it shoots infrared light I believe, the sensor on the front of the camera has to see it to snap a picture.

It depends on the camera. Some models have the infrared sensor on the back as well as the front, and some don't. Most of the new canons tend to have it both places though.

Hi Dana - the remote will only work with line of sight. In other words you have to point the remote at the pickup sensor on the front of the camera (or on the back if your camera has a rear sensor).

I don't think it can unless there is a mirror to reflex the signal to the camera's sensor.

To be honest this hasn't worked for me at all. I have a canon 60d and it didn't work for my camera. Sorry

It is supposed to, however the unit I bought worked only for a few minutes. After that it worked only when the transmitter was a few inches from the receiver on the camera or not at all. No better than using the shutter release on the camera. I submitted a return request through Amazon. BestDeal USA responded quickly, promised me a refund and did not want the defective unit returned. A few days later I received an email saying that the total cost, including shipping had been credited to my bank account. Good Customer Service. I purchased a wired remote from Amazon, Nikon 25395 MC-DC2. It has a long cable and works great - all shutter features of the release on the camera body.

Hello, This kit didn't include any way to trigger the camera remotely. It might be possible with some other accessory, but I am not familiar with one.

It should work. Make sure you are pointing at it from on front of the camera. It doesn't work from the side. Also there is a setting that needs to be on. I will try and find it for you.

I do believe this remote will work with your camera. It uses the A/V jack that looks like the capital letter D(flat on one side/round on the other side. The remote only extends a few feet(4 or 5) so it is used mostly to keep the camera steady when on the tripod because you don't have to touch the camera when using the remote. It turns the camera on and off, zooms in and out,takes stills if your camera is capable of that, and of course starts and stops recording.

yes it works quite well at an angle. I use mine like many would use a wired remote. Just point it to the front side of the camera and it works perfectly.

Hi Kay....I did purchase this remote, but returned it because it did not work with what I wanted to control. Sorry

Yes! But I had to try it.. When the camera is set on Movie mode the remote will start and stop the camera. But if the camera is in a pic mode, pushing the red movie button for the start is not controllable to stop the recording via the remote. I started the camera with the red button and put the remote in front of the camera and pushed the STOP button - the recording didn't end. The remote was set on the single frame mode (left side of the slider). it does work from 100ft - at least for regular pictures. T in OH

Thanks, M. Squires - much appreciated. I expect that I'll be using a Harmony remote, but presumably that just replicates the TV remote's own signal. If you find definitively that this either does or doesn't work, I'd love to know.

you can trigger it remotely, but it can't be used in E-TTL mode in that case (ie. you lose communication with the camera) unless it's connected with an off-camera cable that supports E-TTL. If you have a light meter or are comfortable setting up exposure manually it's not a big deal.

The unhappy answer is NO. I have determined that if you take the batteries completely out of the remote after use, it works like a charm...takes 1 minute to"upload" when you put batteries back in...small price to pay!

You have to have the camera set to where you want it focused before using the remote. Basically, make sure the autofocus is where you want it and working before using the remote. Hope that helps!

Let me guess. the remote is powered by the camera battery. as a consequence, the life of the battery would decrease.I am only guessing, because I don't have the remote yet.

No, it wont work. Its an infrared control so you dont have to plug into your camera, the compatible cameras have a special function to sense this remote. In the manual must says compatilbe with RMT-DSLR1 control.

No. It seems to work well from both behind the camera and hidden from sight in front. I have been happy with it.

Not from the remote. You probably could if you can set up time-lapse in the camera. This just does a half-shutter(for focus & auto exposure) and then full shutter activation.

It's a great remote, but as far as the specific camera, it's probably best to check the manual of the camera which in the past they've all been available on-line. I have a top Nikon D800, but that needs a receptor placed on the camera for a remote to work.
