Hi, I have put in new batteries but the remote is not working. The transmitter works fine for shutter release but not the remote. What do I need to do?

Sorry I can't really help you. Mine worked fine. I also don't use it much. Perhaps return it (pain I know). Good luck. phil

If you are sure the battery is good and it is installed with the polarity in the right position and it still is not working you may have a defective remote. There is no much else to check. You will know the remote is transmitting when tre red light near the antenna lights when you push the button. Also make sure the tiny dip switches on both the remote and the main unit are set to the same code

Check the batteries in the transmitter and make sure that the the dip switches on both units are set the same. If that doesn't work, then you probably have a bad unit

Mine worked fine when I purchased it. The only problem I have had since it the battery going dead in the antenna, which I replaced and is working fine again. Make sure that the switches are in the correct positions. That is about all I can tell you, other than contacting the manufacture and see it they can be of some help.

Must be a common defective problem with this item since mine is doing the same thing!! Very frustrating!

I had to shave down the tip of the plastic insert that connects to the camera before mine would work. Silly, but true.

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.

Make sure that on the transmitter (thing that hangs out of one of the lights) that both are on the "on" position. I also would change the batteries in the transmitter as well as that created a problem for them both firing, for me. As for the model lights, you should be able to just turn the switch to that mode and they should turn on? Hope this helps.

Good morning, Sorry it took so long to respond; I have been on vacation. I hope that your problem was resolved. I tried my unit for the first time yesterday; and the main problem that I had was making sure to push down the button down on the transmitter and hold it there for several seconds in order for it to operate. Also where to place the receiver on the camera hot shoe in order to receive the single; had the receiver facing backwards so that it would operate. Als make sure the batteries are in correctly. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. Good luck and have a great week. Jeff

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.

Not trying to be sarcastic, but did you pull plastic from battery ? I was trying to use mine until I noticed I forgot to remove it. Other than that mine was automatic with my Sony. Hope you get it working. Also, I had to put my camera on a different setting to allow the remote control, I'm not sure on yours but I went into settings and changed it.

I decided to call Panasonic tech support and ask. Unfortunately, I won't be able to try this myself for a day or so (out of town), but maybe you can give their suggestion a go: She said to hold down the "1" button and the "Enter" button at the same time for at least 10 seconds while pointing at the unit and that should reset the remote. ("Enter" being the round button between the arrows.) I asked what caused it, and she said "nothing you did." Funny. UPDATE: This worked! I now have a working remote. Woo hoo. Now I just have to figure out how to record something.

Your camera is most likely not compatible with the device. I purchased one as well for my Olympus only to find out I mis-read the compatible cameras (or as they called it suitable cameras). It turns out the model camera I have is not made to be used with any remote shutter releases, I would check to make sure yours is/isn't. Good luck!

I had trouble with the batteries. If you leave them in either the transmitter or the remote they will die. I would make sure all the batteries are good.

Try a new battery. Mine has worked fine. Be sure camera is set on remote connection so the remote and camera "see" each other.

There is a reset hole on the back of the main unit. Get a pin and put it in the hole and press down gently. Make sure the batteries are in correctly on the remotes and the main unit. That should take care of your problem.

If you are using a Nikon, on the shooting mode selection dial there is a symbol that looks like the remote device. Set the dial there and then press the camera shutter release to activate the camera senor. It should be good to go. If the camera is idle for more than ten minutes, the camera will shut down and you will need to press the shutter release again to activate. One other thing. The remote ships with a strip of clear plastic between the battery and the contacts, that needs to be pulled out to activate the remote. Hope one of these fixes your problem.

It might help to clean the contacts on the battery with a clean pencil eraser first. And the contacts on the remote, if they canbe easily reached. (Got an 880, so just a guess) Update the firmware, too, then if that persists a new battery might be the thing to do.

Not sure if I understand the question but... You have to connect the receiver to the camera via a sync cord. The remote is completely wireless from the receiver and will activate the shutter release. Until it decides to stop working like mine did.

I have had this Remote attached to a D800 for some time and it works great. If you have it connected to the camera completely screwed in then only thing that you may want to check is that the selected channels on the receiver and the transmitter match exactly. If that's all Ok I would ask for a replacement. It's a great remote control so it is worth getting your problem resolved. Good Luck'

If you continue to have an issue, contact seller and return as it may be defective. If you read the reviews, some people have received a defective transmitter. Also make sure batteries are in correctly. A few times I incorrectly put batteries in. After being used, remove batteries to prevent them from being drained.

Same problem here! After I opened the box I charged the battery till the light turned green. Put the battery in the camera, put the film pack in, the black film cover came out (so I assume I put the film in right), turned the camera on but all the symbols are blinking and I'm not able to make a picture. After reading here I put the battery again in the charger and now the light turns orange!! But I just took it out because it was green?!?! Now I'm just gonna wait till it's green again and see if it will work. Does anyone have any others tips for me?XO
