- If you own a D70 you simply can't be without this item.
Because Nikon chose not to include a mechanical cable release option (or an electronic one either), it is difficult to shoot at slow shutter speeds, even on a tripod, without getting camera shake affecting your images. You can use the timer, but that doesn't always work for your shooting situation. With this remote, you get the same basic operation as a cable release as well as a bonus that you can put yourself in front of the lens and use the remote to trip the shutter release. It also works in combination with the self timer. One small concern is that because it's an IR remote, you must point it at the sensor, which is on the front of the camera. This can be awkward standing behind a tripod, but not seriously. I really enjoy using this product.
- Well...its a remote.
I use it with my d50 and it works to about 30 ft. When I get the shot composed, I press the timer button 2x to get the camera ready to shoot, press the button and step out, or sit down and press the button during group shots.
In bulb mode I do the same. Press the timer 3x to get it ready, press to start the shot and step away. Come back and press the button again and it stops the shot.
Works just like it is supposed to.
One thing to remember is to set the camera's time to receive the signal. The camera automatically turns the IR off after a certian amount of time. If this happens, it won't accept it until you turn it back on. If you'll be taking a lot of shots, just change the camera's setting to look for the remote for 5 minutes or so.
- It's no surprise that when you stand in front of the camera and push the button, the remote triggers the shutter. There does seem to be some confusion in reviews, both here and elsewhere, as to the remote's ability to focus the lens before triggering the shutter.
This remote is capable of focusing the lens before triggering the shutter. However, it will not focus the lens if the photographer has already pushed the shutter release button on the camera half way down to focus the image or if you are shooting in Manual mode and have AF-C set as the Autofocus mode.
This means that if you are composing a photograph and push the shutter button half way down to focus the image and you then stand in front of the camera and push the remote button, the image will not focus because you've already pushed the camera shutter release button half way down to focus. To get the image to focus while you are standing in front of the camera, compose the shot but do not push the camera's shutter release button half way down, get in front of the camera and then push the button.
- I love the design of it, it's very easy to set up with my D5000 and as long as you set your camera to receive signal for several minutes you'll be ok.
The only thing that im not crazy about is the range or maybe the signal strength, because it can sometimes work at long distances like 10ft, but sometime it wont work at short distances like 4ft, but i think it has to to with interferences.
Asides from that, I think everything about it is great.
