If using the remote for picture taking with the timer can I keep shooting pics or do I have to set the timer after each pic taken ?

Each shot will still use the timer, until you change it back off timer mode, or turn off the power. Even switching to video and back again to still, it stays in timer mode (at least when I use the remote to switch)

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.

Let me guess. the remote is powered by the camera battery. as a consequence, the life of the battery would decrease.I am only guessing, because I don't have the remote yet.

Yes! But I had to try it.. When the camera is set on Movie mode the remote will start and stop the camera. But if the camera is in a pic mode, pushing the red movie button for the start is not controllable to stop the recording via the remote. I started the camera with the red button and put the remote in front of the camera and pushed the STOP button - the recording didn't end. The remote was set on the single frame mode (left side of the slider). it does work from 100ft - at least for regular pictures. T in OH

In bulb mode it does the exact same thing as if you were using the camera directly by hand. You press the remote, the shutter opens and will stay open until you press the button again. So, that would be a yes to your question. I used it for photographing fireworks and it works great. It is simply a wireless shutter button.

No on both accounts. However, there is a solution for Time Elapsed Photography for this camera, which if I understand your question correctly, it is what you want to do. Therefore, look up the Tempus TimeElapse Remote. It's an IR blinker that you place infront of the camera and set the camera to remote and it will take a picture every time it blinks.

Depends on the camera. If the camera has WiFi and communicates with a smartphone, use the smartphone app. If the camera has a cable shutter release, use that. If the camera only has an IR remote, that could be a problem. Otherwise, use the timer.

Randy you will have to set your camera to auto mode then set it for 2 seconds timer that's when the remote controls will work

Yes there is the option for infinite shutter actuations (ie photos taken). You can just set the interval and bulb times and then select the "infinite" tab in the app. Theoretically your camera should keep going until the batteries run out. My suggestion would be to download the app so that you can get familiar with the control settings. Overall, I'd recommend this unit very highly. Also the support people are great and got back to me immediately, so if you have questions I'm sure they'll do the same. Also with the App, there's the possibility of updating it to improve future functionality. ;-)p

On my camera I am able to choose "Bulb" setting which allows long exposures. Using my remote I activate the opening of the shutter, using it again closes the shutter. There is only one button on the remote. Remember to point the remote at the infrared receiver on the camera. On mine I had to point at the front of the camera.

The description on the Amazon page is incorrect - it will only take a maximum of 99 shots, not 399. Or, you can set to infinity in which case it will keep shooting until you tell it to stop. I find the 99 shot limit a little frustrating. For example, I'd like to set it up to take shots every 5 seconds for two hours and then leave the house for work. But if I set it to infinity, it will shoot until I get back home, and if I set it to 99, it will only shoot for a little over 8 minutes. Seems like an obvious feature to be missing, but I'm not sure if it's common in other remotes like this.

I have a D40, but process is probably the same. 1. Press "Info" button on top of camera near shutter release. 2. Press the "i" button near bottom left rear of camera (the button with the magnifying glass). 3. Use down arrow to navugate to "S", which is shooting mode. 4. Press OK. 5. Use down arrow to navigate to either of the remote settings. 6. Press OK. Camera is now ready for shooting with remote. I generally use the 2 second delay mode. There is an automatic time limit for using the remote. After the time limit passes, you need to reset for remote shooting. I have a D40, but process is probably the same. 1.

The bulb setting on the remote simulates holding the shutter button down. It can be used in multiple ways: 1. To take a long exposure, set the remote to bulb, and set your camera to bulb mode. When you press and hold the remote button, the shutter should open and remain open until you release the button. You determine the length of exposure. 2. To take a burst of shots, set your camera to burst mode, press and hold the button - the camera will continue taking shots until you release. 3. To take exposure bracketed shots, set the camera for exposure bracketing and for burst mode. Press and hold the shutter until the camera has taken all shots needed for bracketing and then release. Different cameras may handle bracketing in different ways.

No, just only set shoot mode to "remote shoot" or something like that (press at the left side of the wheel on the camera). And remove (pull) plastic cover from the remote unit to make battery connected and supply the unitIf does not work - either camera or unit is not fully operational then.

The remote shutter release will accomplish the same as if you were using the Cameras shutter release button. Im very happy with this product,way better than the wireless.

You can set the 10 sec timer. You press the button to take a picture and you have 10 seconds before the camera takes a picture. You just have to push a few buttons to change this setting beforehand.

Yes I do have the MC-36A Nikon Remote. I still set camera to "Bulb" function and then use the MC-36A remote for delay, time of intvl. how many shots, and time between shots. Have you tried Nikon USA?
