LX3 wireless remote shutter control I just bought a LX3 and want the capability to remotely control (prefer wireless) the shutter and focus. Shutter is more important.

No, but you might join the Dpreview.com Panasonic Talk Forum. If anyone knows, someone there will.

Check out this site for a mechanical shutter release. http://kleptography.com/rf/#camera_lx3.I have only seen it, not bought anything, but it looks carefully done.An RF-activated solenoid hooked to the above ought to do the trick.I'd leave that part to the students.

Richard Franiec's Camera Accessories sells an adapter for a mechanical shutter release. CMCRA-LX3, $18.95. Now if you could find an RF release to mate with it ...

I have a plug in wired accessory made by Sony that has controls for record and zoom connected to a mini tripod and colapsable carrying handle. The handle's attachment is plastic and can't handle even a light led light accessory without titlting against the weight, and wouldn't recommend it for the price. Remote or not, this has been a great quality little camcorder if you can find it used or for a good price. Hope you find the solution you are looking for. I am assuming a similar wired remote that has some length has to be out there too, I don't know about a wireless remote option but there could be one.

NO. You do have to set the Canon 7D camera the 10 sec./Remote Control configuration first. Then while the camera is configured for BULB you press and release the Canon RC-5 Wireless Remote and the camera will focus and hold the shutter open. You do not need to hold the Remote Shutter release. To stop / close the shutter you must then press and release the Remote RC-5 again. I RECOMMEND you consider buying the Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote. It has two timed setting, immediate shutter release,and 2 second delay. Wishing you great success every time you release the shutter in the pursuit of capturing the perfect picture...good luck. NO.

It opens new possibilities for wildlife photography.

When I use the wireless triggers, I usually go manual. In TTL mode you can increase the exposure by using the +/- function on your camera.

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!!

Operated as a corded release (up to 31.49"" (80cm), as a wireless remote release (up to 26 ft (8 meters), or as an infrared remote control when used with the camera's receiver (up to 9.84 ft (3 meters). In wireless mode shutter can be released instantly or with a 2 second delay.

I am also looking for a remote for my D3100, but according to the Nikon website this one is not compatible with this camera. Look for it on the official website and you will see that the only remote for this camera is the MC-DC2, but unfortunately it is not wireless.

Hi Marina! I have a D40x, but I imagine the process is similar with the D60. Go to the main menu and choose the shooting mode settings. There you should be able to select remote. The other options available on my camera are single frame, continuous, 2 sec delay, 10 sec delay (these settings require pushing the actual button on the camera to trigger the exposure. Also, you must point the remote directly at the front of the camera as it does use infrared light to trigger the shutter and not another form of wireless. Finally, when you turn the camera off and on, the remote setting is cleared and it defaults back to single frame. Anyway...that is how it all works for me. I imagine the 60 is quite similar. Good luck! Aaron

Depends on the camera. If the camera has WiFi and communicates with a smartphone, use the smartphone app. If the camera has a cable shutter release, use that. If the camera only has an IR remote, that could be a problem. Otherwise, use the timer.

Be sure you have gone to the Function button, go to Drive Mode, scroll down to "Remote Cdr." and push the select button to engage the Wireless Remote. I have the Alpha 77 camera, but the NEX-5N may operate in a similar fashion. Also consult your manual for remote operation. Good luck.

Yeah. I use mine with remote wireless triggers all the time. I really like the flash. It works great on the hot shoe in manual or ettl and the wireless remote has only missed a couple of times but more due to the trigger than the flash. It's a solid flash

Confirmed, I have the D7100 and ML-L3 and they work together. You can configure the remote to do 2s delay, immediate shot, Mirror Up, or turn it off, which appears to be the default. If it doesn't work, be sure to enable it under Menu > Shooting Menu > Remote control mode (ML-L3).

why would you? you can use the camera's delayed shutter timer. besides you would have to be at the remote's cord distance.. it's not wireless.

Unfortunately the D3100 doesn't have the infrared receiver required for this shutter release remote to work. Meanwhile if you need a remote controller for your camera but will cost you a little more check out this product: http://www.amazon.com/Yongnuo-Wireless-Trigger-Shutter-Transceiver/dp/B004YW79F4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1385769926&sr=8-3&keywords=Yongnuo+RF-603. This radio transmitter allows you to half press to focus and full press to shoot just like the shutter release button on your camera, from any direction and from long distances (unlike the infrared controllers), plus it will allow you to do bulb and long exposures as well. I hope you find this answer useful and good luck.

I wonder how this Eye Start focussing would work if you use a cordless remote or similar?When you use cordless remote for taking a picture, does the shutter stop halfway for focussing, like in normal mode?Thanks.
