Does this allow you to turn on and off the camera remotely or simply control it once it's on?

To clarify my answer I only use my wifi back with my ipod touch, not a gopro remote.

If paired with the wifi remote (sold separately) you can turn it on and off. I use it with the smartphone app and you can control all the functions and preview and view video and photos but won't turn on and off camera at this time.

As far as I know you cannot turn the camera on and off with the back. I have only successfully been able to operate the camera while it and the back are on. Incidentally, the back can be installed or removed from the camera regarless if either is on or off.

Yes, you can turn the camera on and off using the BacPac, however, the BacPac must be on for this to work.

While the camera is in movie mode, you need to press the MENU button on the left upper corner of the back panel of T2i to change the Remote Control to "Enable". The RC-6 switch has to be set up at 2 to start and stop video. The lower switch position takes still pictures after elaborate focusing. I'm filming myself riding a horse for training purposes, so the whole pre-focus issue is moot, since I need the camera to focus on a moving target.

You can turn it off and on by the wall switch, but when you turn it on, it continuously cycles through all it modes, such as flash, fade, steady on, blink, etc. You need the remote to choose one cycle.

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.

You don't need instructions... Put the camera in Timer (or Timer 2) mode... point the remote at the front of the camera, and push the button... The switch on the back lets you choose instant or 2 second delay...

Not from the camera, you would need to use a separate timer controlling the power 120Volts external to the camera programed to turn on and off.

No, it just duplicates the functions on the shutter button. So, you can set the camera's exposure to "bulb", and use the remote to open and close your shutter (and if you shoot in mirror up mode you'll get even less jiggle), but you'll still have to watch a clock to determine when to release the button and close the shutter. I'm not aware of a remote with an integrated timer.

Sure... The large button turns the light on or off, overriding the remote. The smaller one is a dimmer, and the tiny slide lever at the bottom turn on or off the communication to the remote sensor.

No you don't need to manually switch it on/ off, when you start your car engine, this video Camera Recorder automaticaly run record by itself.

No, you can't turn the camera on and off with this device, just control the various functions such as start/stop recording, zoom, take photos, display, navigation as well as start/stop/pause playback functions. I don't know if the original CANON WL-D89 wireless controller does turn the camera on and off.

Yes and you can download an app to your smartphone to operate the camera remotely.

You don't. When you plug it it, it's automatically powered. Then, the software is in charge to control it. Let's say you are using Skype; unless you enable a video conference, the webcam will remain powered but disabled.

yes, it comes with a remote control. depending on the range of the remote signal, the remote operates the camera fully in video mode.

There's a setting in the cameras menu that indicates if the shutter can be released remotely. I suppose if you have that option this device can activate it.

The remote control can activate it, yes. It's able to adjust a whole lot of features on the device: volume, sharpness, aspect ratio, as well as preset color temperatures, gamma, and 3-D modes, but zoom and focus are left to your own hand.

Yes you can. You can operate the camera remotely if you put it in wifi mode. It's a bit of a hassle to set up, but it does work!

yes. the camera will turn itself off after you turn ignition off; it may take about 15 seconds to happen.
