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 had the same problem with my camera and I was going to return it but the cost would have been more than the item

I found the instructions on battery insertion to be confusing. Try flipping it over. Sounds silly but it worked for me.

In the A65, (which I have) there is a function menu with settings for Drive Mode. Options are single shot, 10 second delay, 2 second delay, high speed shooting and such. Remote Cdr is one of these options. The A3000 will have similar options. Just look for the Drive Mode menu. Any time you want to use the remote commander, you have to set the drive mode option to Remote Cdr. You set the option back to single shot for normal shooting.

It should work. Make sure you are pointing at it from on front of the camera. It doesn't work from the side. Also there is a setting that needs to be on. I will try and find it for you.

I don't know why they say this is compatible with the a3000 - as the Sony alpha a3000 does NOT have support for Infrared Remote!

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.

If you email the company you bought it from ( via Amazon ) they should be able to help. Be aware the site is in Chinese so you'll have to ask in advance for a translated link... I hope this helps. I don't recall the link nor did I save it but I was sent one... It wasn't really an update... they took the firmware back one step and it seemed to help though it has not totally corrected the problem. My camera will work fine for a while then go through a phase of restarting and losing connection. I have to unplug it, count to 30, and then plug the ac adapter in again and it will work again for a while. Very problematic with no apparent resolution available.

According to the Sony website the A3000 has a multi interface (MI) hot shoe and this flash is the only one listed as compatible with that camera.

I use it with Sony A77 and works great. Not sure if it would work on the A390 though. I have probably given you an answer completely useless to you :)

Hi Kim, This will not work on the Sony A390. I use this on my Sony A65 and it works great. I am not sure the A390 is designed to work with a shutter release. I have an A390 and it does not have any socket for shutter release pluggin. Hope this helps. Al.

Go to Setup > Release w/o lens and make it enable. It will definitely work.......

It does not work with My nex7 either. It is probably deffective, perhaps out of sync.

Bought it months ago and it works just fine on the A6000. Using firmware version 1.1 if that helps.

You might want to ask supplier. The one I received didn't work because the firmware was not the latest. If you are lucky enough and firmware was flashed prior shipping, it would work as per their respond to my issue... BTW, I have Canon T3

Lex:Mine worked with no problem. Check the compatibility with your camera and if it is compatible, they may be defected. Sorry to hear about your trouble.Bahador

I ordered it because I read other reviews that it did work with the 3100. When I received it there we no instructions on how to set up the camera for it. I am in the process now of researching some info. What I have found online and you tube is you need to have the camera on a special setting for it to work. Even the Nikon manual has no into on this. So, bottom line is I'm still researching it. The price is great. It came much quicker then they said it would.

I bought this remote for my a7R, and it works perfect! I did happen to buy my wife the a6000 for Christmas, but I haven't thought about using the remote with that camera. I'll give it a shot, and see what happens, and get back to you. Just have to ask... Did you go into camera settings under remote, and turn that feature on? If not, that could be the issue? Btw, no light is supposed to turn on on the remote.

I have the same camera and am having the same problem. I just bought this and just received it. I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. Maybe it just doesn't work with the Rebel XS like it says it does.

I forgot you I think you have to go into your menu and go to "release w/o lens" choose "enable" I have a A 33 so check the manual on what it might be I worked at Ritz camera for 6 years i sold a lot of the A550 I love sony I won this camera I love it hope this helps

It didn't work for me. I bought it for use with my a65. It attaches to the camera fine. But it tried to use an old Vivitar flash unit with it and it didn't work, i. e. the flash wouldn't fire. The manual claims it only works with Sony equipment, all I know for sure is that it didn't work with my non-Sony equipment.

I don't know. I have an A77, so all my research has been based around my equipment. You can go to Sony's web site and look up your camera, then check and see if the remote is listed as one of the optional accessories. I do believe this is the most common remote for most of the cameras they offer.

My experience with adapters so far is the autofocus has not worked. Your camera is totally manual
