Is there a shutter release button in the front of the battery grip? The pictures are only from the back...Does it work on T4i?

Shutter release is on the grip, slanted towards the front. Don't know for sure if it works on the T4i as I only have a 3Ti ....

I tried to use the button shutter release with my T4i, but found it awkward to activate with my thumb.

I have found all thebuttons to work, however I tend to only use the shutter release and occ. the selector wheel. The clock mode on the LCD is handy. I made a point to learn what they all are for when I first installed it, but have forgoten them since I dont use them any more. I still love this grip with the extended battery life and relocated shutter release.

I have a T4i. Even though I read that the camera won't detect low battery level, I have indeed seen the low battery warning flashing on my T4i. I think it is safe to guess that the T5i might do the same. I think it is OK for you to take the chance. The batteries are interchangeable, as far as I can tell. I have not run careful tests of battery longevity, but I do not notice a difference during normal usage of the camera.

Did you find a remote shutter release for your fh100? I have a fh25 and would like to get one as well.

On my D810 the with the camera in "Bulb" mode, push and hold the button and after a second or two you can release the button and the shutter will stay open. Tapping the button again will close the shutter to end the exposure

The on/off switch on the camera grip only controls the buttons. If you're using non-standard batteries inside the grip, you may want to consider swapping them out if you're having battery life issues.

I'm one of those guys who starts pushing buttons before I look at the manual. hah This is what I figured out: First, you can use the button to take photos even without batteries or the power turned on. If all you want is a remote shutter without any of the timer features, you should be ok without turning it on. Across the top are the following marks: DE - Delay.. how long to pause before taking the first photo BU - Bulb.. basically how long to keep the shutter open when your camera is in BULB mode INT - Interval.. how long to wait between taking the next photo N - Number of photos to take. Blank for unlimited &lt;speaker&gt; - Volume of beeps. Including countdown beeps before next photo is taken LEFT/RIGHT on the direction pad to select which of these you're changing CENTER BUTTON on direction pad to tell it you want to change the selected item After you press the CENTER BUTTON, you can use LEFT/RIGHT to select which item to change (hours/minutes/seconds/etc).. if you press LEFT/RIGHT again when you're on the first/last setting for that item, it'll go to the previous/next item so you can set all your parameters without exiting "edit mode". Once you ever everything set, exit edit mode by pressing the center button again. Press start/stop to start the countdown and image taking sequence. Looks like you can also hold down the main button (has HOLD printed on it) to take long exposures (might require BULB mode? haven't tested this). Also, sliding the main button up appears to hold it down for you until you slide it back down. You can't slide it up with the button pressed (I originally thought you'd press then slide up to hold but it doesn't work like that). The light/lock button lights up the display on a single press, locks the settings on a long-press. I think that's everything. Hope that helps!

It depends on the camera. I am using a 7D and I don't think it trips it as a shutter release. I have a dedicated wireless release for those needs.

If you use the included cable, it does allow you to use either shutter button as you want. It also allows for A/F when pushing either button halfway down. Having to have the cable plugged in is a minor annoyance but otherwise it's awesome.

You can use either shutter button one right after the other, shoot horizontal and use the release on the body, turn it vertical and use the one on the battery grip, then back to horizontal, no problems. Nothing else to do! And it works whether you're using the view finder or the Live View screen.

Hi , remove battery from camera, insert that plus another of the same battery into the grip, push into camera and tighten screw( making sure not to cross thread) connect cable to control aux. switch. Turn on and check operation. I had to return the first one as it had bad contacts. That's it, start shooting!

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.

There is a long wait period between fully depressing the shutter button (this is after focusing with a half press) and capture.By the time the picture is taken the moment is well over.I have a Canon G3 - it does not have a similar issue, however Canon's support is unwilling to acknowledge that there is a problem.Locking the exposure prior to the shot fixes the problem, but then you have to do this for each shot and it means another flash.

I haven't used it as a shutter release but will work. There's a switch on the transmitter that will switcj from flash trigger to shutter trigger.

I have the Canon T4i and so far the grip works as advertised. I don't see the need for the LCD display, but otherwise the grip is very good, so far.

Does the remote need to be pointed directly toward the camera, or I could I discretely signal the shutter release with my hands behind my back for example? Hoping to avoid running back and forth for large group photos.

Hi there, sorry for the late response but we just started using this. The shutter delay is basically non-existent, it snaps as soon as the button is pushed which is awesome! Highly recommend!
