I cannot get the shutter to release with the remote on my e-pl1 in very simple mode. What am I not doing right

This is what I had to do on my E-P1, the E-PL1 should be similar. Change it to manual mode first. Press menu and select the menu with the gears, you then want sub-menu C (labeled release/[]]]). You want both RLS Priority S and RLS Priority C on. Now you can switch back to auto and it should work.

Probably a bad unit. I returned mine twice til I finally got a working unit.

You need to tell the camera to operate without detecting a normal e mount lens. This is a setting called "Shutter release without Lens" or something close to that under setup.

Hi, Please make sure that you keep your shutter speed at around 150/s. Beyond that the remote might not be able to synch up.

I bought one. I didn't have any trouble finding the settings in the A7 menu and my battery is installed properly without the plastic interrupter strip and I couldn't get it to work. If they shipped it with a dead battery, shame on them. I don't have another. Where is the camera reading the IR signal? Through the lens? Are you supposed to see a light on the front of the remote when you push the button?

Sorry you are having issues... unlock the knob on the side, and push in the button on the other side when you slide it out. It actually should slide out either way. Many of these plates come with extra screws for your camera and generally they store them under the plate, usually screwed in. It's possible that maybe one of them loosened and is preventing your plate form coming out. Try turning over the whole thing and maybe that will create a gap to get your plate out. I have 4 of these, and at work we have another 6. I haven't had any issues, so hopefully this isn't a common problem. Hope that helps, good luck!

I bought this remote for my a7R, and it works perfect! I did happen to buy my wife the a6000 for Christmas, but I haven't thought about using the remote with that camera. I'll give it a shot, and see what happens, and get back to you. Just have to ask... Did you go into camera settings under remote, and turn that feature on? If not, that could be the issue? Btw, no light is supposed to turn on on the remote.

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 don't have a direct answer for your issue but ... have you tried to "reset" the camera? There should be a small hole in the back near the ethernet port where you'd need a paperclip to get to the button and hold it in for about 3 - 5 seconds and release it. That may help with the configuration page. The other issues... I have no answer except to contact customer service.

Make sure that when you set it up for use that you go into the camera settings and enable the remote for "quick response." I've noticed that when I go to long without using the remote it enters a stand by mode and I have to re-enable it again. If that doesn't work then you might need to change the battery. Happy shooting!

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

You can either manually hold shutter button or 'lock' it down. This is on the receiver on (attached to the camera), NOT with the wireless remote.

After attaching the receiver to your camera look at the front of the device. When you press the shutter button on the remote the receiver should flash a blue light telling you the unit is working. If there is no blue light then press the silver button on the front of the receiver. If that doesn't work then check that you have the dip switches on both receiver and remote set to the same settings. Beyond this I don't know what the problem would be. My unit works fine on my D800. Hope this helps.

Check your E500 for a jack that a remote shutter release will fit in. My E300 does not have that jack and this would NOT work with it.

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 don't know either, but I suspect it won't work - in order to use the remote shutter, you have to run the Looq app - with the Looq app running, the button on the remote shutter arm will activate the camera -
