Haven't had any problems with my unit. Maybe going over the instructions again, making sure you have the correct model for your camera, batteries are good, and making sure cords are fully inserted would help. Also you could look at the reviews to see comments made that may help you.

I was having an issue when I first tried to use mine, and it turned out it was just a matter of the antenna needing to be extended on the remote... even if you're RIGHT next to the camera, the antenna needed to be at least partially extended to work. Aside from that, I've had no problems with mine...

Did you set your camera to the appropriate setting in order to use the remote. I have a nikon V1 and you have to set the remote to be used in the menu section. Under self timer option. Hope this helps.

I thought mine didn't work but I realized I had not correctly dialed the camera to remote operation. There is also a setting in the camera that I had properly set but my own inexperience with my camera was the error.

Mine works fine and I have 5 of them. The remote does need to find that "certain" spot to work. Try aiming the remote a little lower or higher.

It's an infrared remote - has nothing to do with WiFi. You point it at the camera, press the button, and it either works or it doesn't. The camera has to be set for remote control mode. Even then, this model seems to arrive broken a fair percentage of the time, and won't work no matter what you do.

you will need to set it to continuous shots so it will keep taking shots, when press down. Good luck. I use to wireless remote most of the time.

Do you have the RF receiver plugged in ? Also I think there is a slip between the battery and contact inside the remote that you must remove. If you have done both of these things then it is likely defective.

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.

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.

The first suggestion is to check the wiring. I had similar problems and took the camera down and connected it to DVD and everything worked. I then replaced the entire lenght of wire and the camera is still working.

I did not use any menus. Try this...Turn the camera offAttach the device using the cableImportant: Extend the antennae on the remote (I've had it not work right beside the camera until I pull out the antennae)Do a test with the piece attached to the camera. Hit the button on the front, if it takes a picture you know its connected OK.Then test from the remote.Hope this helps.

Sounds like the remote has a software problem that is affecting the battery. Try updating the firmware first then test it out with a new battery replacement.

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

Dale, Mine worked fine out of the box. I would like to suggest that the battery in the remote might need changing. Other than that, the only thing that is possible is turn it off, unplug everything to let it reset and plug it back in. If this doesn't get it something is busted and the unit has a decent warranty.

Try replacing the batteries. If this does not work, contact customer service for replacement of remote under warranty.

Good question. I can't get the remote to work either and am interested in what you find out. Other than the remote issue, the transmitter works well.

yes you can get a wireless remote or you can get a plug-in wired remote, I haven't had much luck with the wireless ones, but with the wired one it works flawlessly every time, or this is a good one for no wires,,,,,,((Neewer IR Wireless RC-6 Shutter Release Remote Control for Canon EOS 60D 70D 7D Rebel T5i, T4i, T3i, T2i, T1i, XSi, Xti, XT, SL1 / 700D 650D 600D 550D 500D 450D 400D 350D 100D))
