Visit us and you'll always find a friendly welcome. Our policy is to treat our customers as we would like to be treated ourselves, a simple ideal that we try hard to live up to. If you're shooting a subject in direct line of sight, you can use either the ML-L3 or ML-3 remotes (depending on your camera), which use a beam of infrared light to trigger the camera. The range on the ML-L3 is around 5m from remote to camera, while the ML-3's range is roughly 8m. To prevent light entering via the viewfinder from appearing in photographs or interfering with exposure, remove the rubber eyecup and cover the viewfinder with the supplied eyepiece cap ( 0 Cover the Viewfinder).

How can I determine who's at fault here (camera, remote or the usual suspect - me) ? BTW, the remote won't emit any visible light when pressed (what I mean is the little light bulb won't lit - I'm not expecting to see the actual beam); is it supposed to show something? I though it was the battery, but after installing a new one, the remote control still doesn't work. I set the camera to the right mode (pressing the little button next to the BKT button and selecting the remote icon with the main dial). Choosing the length of time the camera will remain in stand-by mode waiting for a signal from the remote control, see A> Custom Setting c5 ( Remote on duration (ML-L3); 0 Remote on Duration (ML-L3)). If Record movies is selected for Custom Setting g1 ( Custom control assignment) > Shutter-release button, the ML-L3 can not be used when the live view selector is rotated to 1. The wireless remote communicates with your camera via a separate hot-shoe mounted receiver unit which in turn connects via a sync cable. It’s a slightly bulky combo, but no other device like a phone or tablet is required, and the simple radio frequency connection works instantly with no prior setup.

A Guide to Shooting Wirelessly with your D-SLR - Nikon School

With all the smart-watches around lately - it would be great to have a simple app for a watch, with a customizable button, act as wireless trigger - it's always with you without the hassle the smartphone brings with it. While there are plenty of camera triggering apps out there, a good remote release is a much more reliable solution, one that isn't dependent on an unreliable smartphone battery. Different releases use different triggering methods: some are cabled physically to the camera, others are wireless infra-red, and others use more advanced wireless systems like radio frequency, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi – extra-useful as they don't require direct line of sight. To set up the WT-5 wireless transmitter for image transfer, in the set-up menu, select network, then highlight choose hardware and navigate to the hardware list. NB If the flash on your camera can pop up automatically, remember to disable this when you attach the WR-1.

Press the button on the WU-1a/WU-1b, holding it down for about 5 seconds, until the LED on the adapter flashes. Remote control is cancelled automatically if no photograph is taken before the time selected for Custom Setting c5 ( Remote on duration (ML-L3), 0 Remote on Duration (ML-L3)), Off is selected for Remote control mode (ML-L3), a two-button reset is performed ( 0 Two-Button Reset: Restoring Default Settings), or shooting options are reset using Reset photo shooting menu ( 0 Reset Photo Shooting Menu). You're now set up to transfer images to your computer wirelessly. To upload new photographs automatically as they are taken, select on for network > options > auto send in the setup menu. You can choose to send both RAW or JPEGs or send JPEG only, and you can also start and stop video wirelessly. More options can be found in the camera's options menu under network.Now, placing the units close together, highlight execute on both menus and press OK. The pairing complete message will be in the display and the LED will flash red and green alternately to let you know the units are paired. The Wireless Remote Controller kit includes the WR-R10 transceiver (controller) which is attached to the DSLR and receives signals from the WR-T10 transmitter. Alternatively, you could use multiple WR-1 remote controllers, which are both transmitter and transceiver in one. Because these systems use radio frequencies instead of infrared, you aren't limited to line-of-sight operation. Their ranges are also much greater than infrared options – around 20m for the WR-T10 to the WR-R10, 50m for a transmitting WR-R10 to a transceiving WR-R10, and a whopping 120m for WR-1 to WR-1. Yes, it's old-school and low-fi, rather than wi-fi it can be handy because it's built into your Nikon camera, so you're never without it. It's ideal for group shots where you want to be in the picture, or for long exposures where you want to avoid the risk of shake from pressing the shutter button. Camera remotes have all sorts of use cases. Physically pressing the shutter button can cause tiny vibrations in the body, which can compromise an image in situations where focusing is extremely precise, such as macro photography, or in situations where an image can be affected by motion blur, like long exposures. Being able to trigger a camera remotely also lets you move away if you want to avoid casting a shadow, or helps you keep a distance from skittish wildlife. Finally, connect the camera to the computer via USB. The camera will prompt you to start the wireless transmitter utility on your computer: do so. When complete, remove the USB cable.

Your Nikon camera may come with wi-fi built-in, or you could create wi-fi via Nikon's WU-1a or WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adapter and your smartphone or tablet. Alternatively, to send images from the camera to a computer or FTP server, you can use the Nikon WT-4, WT-5, WT-6 or WT-7 wireless transmitters, depending on camera compatibility – the new D5, for example, uses the WT-5 and WT-6 models, while the D500 uses the WT-7. The WT-4 offers wireless LAN for the D4 series. The WT-5 provides wireless LAN for the D4 series and the D5, as well as an optional HTTP server mode, enabling remote shooting and viewing of pictures. The WT-6 and WT-7 enable image-data transfer via high-speed wireless LAN for the D5 and D500 respectively, and both also offer HTTP server mode and FTP upload/camera control. Can the ML-L3 infrared remote be used with the Zs? I can't find an option for it. If not, which wireless triggers are compatible? For photographers using the D4 series, D810/A, D750, D7200 or D7100 cameras, the UT-1 communication unit will provide an ethernet connection going from the camera to a computer or FTP server. In PC mode, you can even shoot from the laptop, providing it's running Camera Control Pro 2 software. For those same cameras, the UT-1 used with the WT-5A will also enable high-speed image transfer over wireless LAN to a computer or FTP server.

The real Nikon one is faultless, still on original battery after over 20 years (bought with my D70 in 2004).
