How does this remote work with the A7r ? There is NO menu item for "Remote". The "Shoot" menu contains nothing, whereas the Alpha 77 and Alpha 57 do.

The only thing I can say is that you have to hold this remote behind the camera and slightly below pointing up. Silly, but it worked for me

based on what I can see from the Imaging Resource review, I'd say yes: looks like the remote plug receptor is the same as on my A850. On the A7 and A7r or the NEX 7, the answer is no---they don't have this dedicated remote receptor. You have to go in through the HDMI port. I think this is a good unit. My only "con" would be that it is too easy to put it into timer mode, but that is really a very minor issue, and as much a user error thing as any fault with this remote. HTH

Hi Doug. I have never been able to get the remote to activate the Video on my Canon 60D. I have tried numerous times in numerous configurations, but doesn't respond. Hope this helps. -bob-

Be sure you have gone to the Function button, go to Drive Mode, scroll down to "Remote Cdr." and push the select button to engage the Wireless Remote. I have the Alpha 77 camera, but the NEX-5N may operate in a similar fashion. Also consult your manual for remote operation. Good luck.

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?

It works very well with both the A550 and A57, only dedicated triggers that I have tried that did work. I'm happy with mine!

The wireless remote does work- I have the Cannon 7D EOS. It does take a bit of time to learn the steps needed to get the setup working. It is a harder to explain to someone else, Make sure you are in direct view of the sensor on the camera or it will not get the signal--this occurs if you have the camera on a tripod and you are NOT in front. Practice outside and find out what impact there is on the signal. Check battery--need fresh fully charged to get bet distance and response.

I have used the Foto Tech RC-6 Wireless remote on my Canon 7D. It works fine when it is held in front of my camera. Unfortinatley using this wireless remote does not allow for the lens to auto focus. There fore I have gone back to using the corded Canon remote. It releases the shutter in addition to auto focusing the lens. Hope this helpsJim

Confirmed, I have the D7100 and ML-L3 and they work together. You can configure the remote to do 2s delay, immediate shot, Mirror Up, or turn it off, which appears to be the default. If it doesn't work, be sure to enable it under Menu &gt; Shooting Menu &gt; Remote control mode (ML-L3).

Daryl, I read all the models that this remote will work with however, I didn't see the R-500 on there? I am guessing that your particular model is not remote capable? Look through your owners manual to verify this. It works great with my M-500 but there again, my particular model is remote capable. Hope this helps. Have a great day. Max

Yes, it does. For some weird reason, Sony kept the three pin terminal on the A77II instead of installing the Multi port they are forcing on all their cameras. Any camera that has the three pin variant can use this remote. The problem comes for models that don't possess it, such as the A58.Check Dpreview's info for the A77II, they have pictures for the sides of the camera and you can see the one I'm talking about.Cheers.

Did you make sure the remote would work with your particular Sony camera? If so, then the next questions is, have you set your camera's drive function to the remote setting? The remote will not activate the camera if the camera is not set to remote. Lastly, the battery that came with the remote could be dead from the factory. Try a fresh battery. Hope this helps.

First, make sure the battery is installed correctly. The instructions on the sheet were not correct with mine but they did include a separate note saying that the battery should be turned opposite of what the instruction sheet said. If that doesn't work, make sure your camera is on the right setting for a remote. Turn on the camera and enter the Drive mode. Then scroll down to "Remote Cdr." and select that. My camera is an alpha 57 but I'm not sure whether yours accepts a remote or not.

It's my understanding the Alpha lenses work on the A cameras... I have an a77.

It's a great remote, but as far as the specific camera, it's probably best to check the manual of the camera which in the past they've all been available on-line. I have a top Nikon D800, but that needs a receptor placed on the camera for a remote to work.

This information was super helpful. I had the exact same question. I tried, several times, contacting the seller with no luck. I never thought to contact Nikon. Please share if ever you find a good, inexpensive, wireless remote for the D3100. Thanks!!

I have an A7-R and it works well. How far away are you? Was battery protector removed? Try changing battery if it still does not work.
