Can you take a picture remotely? Do I need any other accessory to do that?

Hello, This kit didn't include any way to trigger the camera remotely. It might be possible with some other accessory, but I am not familiar with one.

Hi. This camera does allow you to take photos remotely from your smart phone (IOS for sure) and is pretty easy to setup. It also has a fish eye mode not quite sure about the panorama however. Hope this helps. Happy shootingAlexanderlamar.com

No, it does not have this capability. It's a simple, yet functional camera, without all the bells and whistles. Though does offer access to view video remotely, via mobile app.

On Android phones at least the Samsung Galaxy S3 that I have you can voice control the phone to take picture. All you have to do is say "Shoot" and the camera will take the picture for you.

Yes you can, there is built in web server but i strongly advise you get some software and set up external to camera.

Yes, but you need the appropriate recording and connecting device. It should allow Internet access in addition to the functions of recording and processing the images. You can set up, following the instructions, a good viewing connection for real time or replay remote. The camera is seperate and can be connected to most systems. Hope this helps!

No, PC not required. You can setup the camera using the mobile phone. My camera connected to WIFI network. Works great! Highly recommended!

i am not aware of this option as i haven't really read the owners manual. i know i plug the camera into the computer and it will download the pics, then i can throw them up on the cloud and use them across all my devices. i just got the camera so i can stick it in my pocket and get a good pic when i travel.

Yes. You need to connect to wifi, and then talk through the camera and you phone.

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.

Yes you can. There are several free apps available that you can set up to view and control your cameras on any mobile device. I prefer IPCam viewer which comes with either a lite or paid version.

There was no such requirement when I reviewed this item. There was an offer to sign up with an external cloud service to record images, but it was optional. Your WiFi is your own business, not theirs, beyond using the camera to connect free via your local connection.

you can trigger it remotely, but it can't be used in E-TTL mode in that case (ie. you lose communication with the camera) unless it's connected with an off-camera cable that supports E-TTL. If you have a light meter or are comfortable setting up exposure manually it's not a big deal.

Yes, once you set it up for remote access. I was able to view the camera real-time and rotate the camera from my iPad while traveling. I am pretty sure you will be able to do this from an android device as well.

It's just a remote shutter release. You need a special flash unit for that.

I've never done that. What I do is transfer from camera to iPhone. Have to download the Nikon app. Then 'enable' wifi on camera. From iPhone, join network, 'NikonD5300' and from your iPhone, you can transfer and even VIEW the picture you want to take. Acts like a remote control for your camera too! Pretty nifty, huh?!

I heard you can but you might have to do everything manually. I'm not on this though. You could also try a camera store to see if they can give you a better answer.
