Is there a shutter remote available for long shutter speeds (e.g. for night photography)? How is the macro mode?

Hi Donna: Yes, there is a remote shutter release for Fuji cameras. It is the Fuji RR-80, and if you just search on Amazon for "Fuji RR-80," it should pull up. As for macro, the kit lens that comes with the X-A1, although a terrific lens, does not focus very closely (I believe it is about 30cm). There is a macro lens that Fuji sells (it is a 60mm macro), but it is relatively pricey. Some of the other standard Fuji lenses have a minimum focusing distance that is less than the kit lens here, but none (other than then 60mm macro lens) is a true macro. Finally, Sigma has announced just recently that they will be selling lenses for the Fuji X-mount system, so it will be interesting to see if a more inexpensive macro lens will be among their offerings. But the X mount system is a truly amazing platform for shooting, and the X-A1 is the perfect way to get into it at a very reasonable price. I still use the kit lens, even though I have some of the other more expensive "XF" Fuji lenses, along with the others because its performance is so good, and because it is so light!

Yes, there is a remote (cable) shutter release, it's called the Fuji RR-90. I don't own one. Online, you can also find third part wireless models. Macro mode - I have the stock lens. The macro mode is good. I've been very happy with the camera, especially the styling.

yes to both questions. you can take pictures with long exposure, for example at night time. great macro shot can be taking too. you may have to change some options on the camera depending on the exposure and light of the area. if you have more questions or comments please let me know.

Not that I could find. The wired remote only seems to work to trip the shutter.

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

Actually David if your shooting with a SLR you should have a bulb setting on your camera. In this mode you control the length of your exposure. The remote has a lock feature that will allow you to take long exposures.

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.

I have a D300s and D800. It works the same as the normal shutter release on both. For Bulb mode exposures I like to use the MC-36 u trip the shutter to lockup and a few second later trip the timer and u can pre program how long u want the shutter to remain open. And don't have to hold the button. Automatic. I use the witless remote out to 30 seconds. The witless device works great for me.

Yes the DMC-FZ70 is very capable at macro shots. It has a button on the back to switch the autofocus from normal to macro, enabling the camera to take pictures as close as 1 cm at the wide angle focal length! Also in the iA (intelligent auto) mode, the camera automatically detects when the subject is close enough to require the macro setting and switches it to macro, then automatically switches it back to normal when the camera is moved further away from the subject. You can also select a macro focus function in the manual, aperture priority, shutter speed priority, and program modes, and can select between autofocus macro and macro zoom. I have taken pictures with the camera lens practically touching the subject in all kinds of lighting conditions and they have turned out great. Of course the autofocus at such range has a severely reduced margin for focus alignment so you have to give it a few seconds to focus and then be careful not to move the camera again before the shot. Probably should switch off the flash (simple to do on this camera) and perhaps use a tripod and self timer if the subject is not well lit. To boot the camera accepts an adapter and close-up lens but I'm not sure why you'd need them given how great the macro works.

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. If the camera shutter speed is NOT set to "bulb" or similar and you lock the remote shutter in the on position, it will perform continuous shooting. However depending on the length of your exposure, a better option might be to use the timers built in delay timer, as longer exposures take more processing time.

I doubt you can hold a button down via wifi, I believe you can set a long period of open shutter time though. Email CamRanger, their support is very good and somewhat prompt. support@camranger.com

When you need to use a really slow shutter speed, a long exposure in low light, pushing the button on your camera causes too much jiggle giving a blurry photo. The remote plugs into your camera and electronically triggers the shutter, no camera jiggle, sharp photo!

Yes. In fact there are 2 macro modes. Macro and Super Macro. I've only had this camera for a few months now and am still just constantly amazed at the quality and feature set. I got very lucky and picked up one "like new" here on Amazon for only $250. It's a bargain. The only thing I've bought for it since is a really good FAST 8 GB card - Sandisk makes these, a spare battery (essential), and a folding lens cap that automatically opens and closes when you twist the lens to turn it on - about $11.

I use the Canon Remote Control RC-6. It allows for wireless shutter release of the camera from up to 16 feet away. The shutter can be released immediately or after a two-second delay.

I have a Nikon D5300 and its works very good ........ they also have it for T5 see: Polaroid Shutter Release Timer Remote Control For For The Canon Digital EOS Rebel T5i (700D), T5 (1200D), T4i (650D), T3 (1100D), T3i (600D), T1i (500D), T2i (550D), XSI (450D), XS (1000D), XTI (400D), XT (350D), 70D, 60D, G16, G15, G12, G11, G10, G1X Digital SLR Camera (Repalces RS-60E3)

I'm one of those guys who starts pushing buttons before I look at the manual. hah This is what I figured out: First, you can use the button to take photos even without batteries or the power turned on. If all you want is a remote shutter without any of the timer features, you should be ok without turning it on. Across the top are the following marks: DE - Delay.. how long to pause before taking the first photo BU - Bulb.. basically how long to keep the shutter open when your camera is in BULB mode INT - Interval.. how long to wait between taking the next photo N - Number of photos to take. Blank for unlimited &lt;speaker&gt; - Volume of beeps. Including countdown beeps before next photo is taken LEFT/RIGHT on the direction pad to select which of these you're changing CENTER BUTTON on direction pad to tell it you want to change the selected item After you press the CENTER BUTTON, you can use LEFT/RIGHT to select which item to change (hours/minutes/seconds/etc).. if you press LEFT/RIGHT again when you're on the first/last setting for that item, it'll go to the previous/next item so you can set all your parameters without exiting "edit mode". Once you ever everything set, exit edit mode by pressing the center button again. Press start/stop to start the countdown and image taking sequence. Looks like you can also hold down the main button (has HOLD printed on it) to take long exposures (might require BULB mode? haven't tested this). Also, sliding the main button up appears to hold it down for you until you slide it back down. You can't slide it up with the button pressed (I originally thought you'd press then slide up to hold but it doesn't work like that). The light/lock button lights up the display on a single press, locks the settings on a long-press. I think that's everything. Hope that helps!

You can use the D5200 pop up flash to trigger a remote flash in MANUAL mode!!!!!!!!!!!
