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.

I did not use any menus. Try this...Turn the camera offAttach the device using the cableImportant: Extend the antennae on the remote (I've had it not work right beside the camera until I pull out the antennae)Do a test with the piece attached to the camera. Hit the button on the front, if it takes a picture you know its connected OK.Then test from the remote.Hope this helps.

I read the manual user book, ML-L3 work for Nikon D7100, but I follow the instruction in the book but I can not set it up

Sure, just set it to the auto setting and shot. Read the manual that comes with the camera to familiarize yourself with the controls and maybe go to the Nikon website for suggestions. That's all there is to it. Photo are awesome.

Try going to the set up menu, go down several items till you get to "Release w/o lens," and enable this. This allows the shutter to work without a lens (which is what the camera thinks when there is an adapter in place).

Lex:Mine worked with no problem. Check the compatibility with your camera and if it is compatible, they may be defected. Sorry to hear about your trouble.Bahador

Have the same problem as well...didn't have it with D700 or D300. Really not pleased given this is a $3K camera. Really lowers the pleasure of using this camera - may have to return.

Contact Nikon suupport. If the camera is supported you may need a update. You may be able to find the update in the UK website.

Did you set your camera to the appropriate setting in order to use the remote. I have a nikon V1 and you have to set the remote to be used in the menu section. Under self timer option. Hope this helps.

I used it with my Nikon D 200 and didn't have to do anything special with the menu. Some things you will need to do is to place some tape on the battery doors to ensure they don't fall off.

i finally sent it to the nikon repair center (look on their main website for information) along with a photocopy of my warranty card and they fixed it and returned it. i hope yours is still on warranty! otherwise i have no idea how much it would cost to fix it. i've lost the "fun" momentum anyway and no longer even enjoy it. a hundred dollars down the drain. good luck with yours.

make sure you activate the "remote commander" control, situated in the main menu on the camera.hope that works

Try doing a full format of the card. I have used this card on both Canon and Nikon, several models and never had an issue. Might want to contact Nikon if a full format of the card does not work. There is no firmware on the card that should need to be updated.

1. Yes. I did RTFM. 2. Get into your Nikon's menu and go to where the self-timer settings are. On my D5100 it is called "Release Mode". If you find one or two settings for "Remote Control Mode", select one. Turn on the camera. Stand in front of the camera. Aim the ML-L3 at the camera. Smile. Push the remote button. View picture. 3. It has two uses: To include yourself in a picture without having to run like hell after you press the shutter release, and to release the shutter gently so you don't shake the camera and blur the picture. My D5100 has a second sensor on the back for this purpose. 4. Because "useless" and "junk" depend on the customer. About 32 reviewers out of 41 seem to have found a use for it. I also am interested: How did you come to acquire this piece of crap?

Hello hello Rmauma...! The Little push-button on the side... is working... like the release-button... on your camera... Push it In... and turn the lens... same way... as your normal lenses. If the button... or the adapter is stuck... Perhaps try... to twist the adapter... just a fraction... in both directions... while pressing... on the button. This can give the Little locking pin... enough room... to Work. Now take the lens... with the adapter... one hand on each... close your eyes... and let your hands Work... Hope this will help... Greetings... Jakob.

There's a power switch around the shutter button. Turn it on and it should work.
