Can you take continuous long exposure shots at regular intervals with this remote? Say 30 seconds each shot for 400 shots at regular intervals?

Yes or you can just leave it on to take 30 second shots until the battery dies. There is a duration setting and an interval setting. What I do is set the duration to X and set the interval to x+5. If you set them both to X or don't give enough of a delay between the duration and the interval, your camera may still be processing the image and when the remote clicks the shutter again the camera won't be ready and you will miss that exposure.

Although I have used the remote to trigger my camera, I have not tried the extended exposure part. The instructions do say when you activate the trigger and push it forward it will lock the shutter open for timed exposures. Sorry I haven't been able to use it more often.

Not directly. You need an external interval timer to do that. You could use this to trigger a multiple exposure, but not as an interval timer. You could hack it together with something like an Arduino to make it into an interval timer. Then you would set the camera up for multiple exposure and use your make shift interval timer to do this.

I've done exposures up to 16 minutes with this remote, but it's capable of hours long exposures.

why would you? you can use the camera's delayed shutter timer. besides you would have to be at the remote's cord distance.. it's not wireless.

No impossible..12 shoots in 30 degree you can't find timing its start and finish in hour ..try less than 15 minutes like few minutes ..i'm useing for video timelapse not for photo ..sorry i don't use for photo

I have the same question, actually. That's the only reason I haven't bought it yet. I would love to get myself in shots, as well as the entire family, but the problem I have now with just using the camera's self-timer is that you can't autofocus on yourself when you're behind the camera! The review I read seems to say that you can't autofocus using just the remote...but B. Babb's response makes me think otherwise. I'm sure someone else out there would care to clarify...

This is a setting on your camera. look in your user manual under remote control shooting. It's a setting that I had to change on my camera. for Cannon Rebel t3i I had to change the setting from Single to "self timer/remote". I hope this helps

Absolutely. I often use this remote for star trail photos, where I set the camera to BULB, and the release manages the exposure. I can easily do &gt;30 second exposure, and often have left the camera and remote set up shoot a series of 5-minute exposures for as many as I need to get the desired effect, up to the limit for the remote.

You don't need it. The range is only to about 15 feet. You need to point the remote directly at the receiver on your CANON camera (on the grip where your index finger would be if you were holding it). Turn your camera to timer mode and there is an option there for "2-second timer / remote". As long as you can follow these instructions, you can use remote. It took me a while to figure out the "2-second time / remote" options. It is really simple. Good luck!

Hi Kenny, continuous playback is possible but is dependent on the battery life of the camera. -Vincent

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?

Yes with timer there is a option in the camera to take burst of images, but I am not sure How long it lasts.

Yes you can take instant shots. Delayed timing and intervals are additional features actually

It should. Sounds like the same thing I am doing. Only problem is, you will not have electronic exposure control on the remote flash, only trigger.

Yes you can adjust the shutter speed from 1/4000 of a sec to 30 seconds. It takes great night shots with a tripod.

Yes, I use mine all the time with my 7D and 5D Mk III. The manual is a bit sketchy, in my opinion, but practice with it. Hint: for long (&gt; 30 sec) exposures---mount on tripod (obviously), select "Bulb," select "Mirror Lock Up," set Drive to 2-sec delay, AF to OFF, exposure to Manual, set f-stop to desired value. On the Remote, set "Long" to desired exposure interval plus 2 sec. Start the timer--the mirror locks up, 2-sec delay starts then shutter opens for the desired exposure interval ("Long" setting minus the camera's 2 sec. delay). At night if I'm going to do multiple exposures I turn off the Image Review and select appropriate noise reduction setting---which might be "Off" if the added noise reduction processing time interferes with doing closely-spaced exposure intervals.
