mine only works in the interval shooting, taking 1 picture every second. I can't get it to work in the simple one shot mode. Any ideas?

depends on the shooting mode your camera is in also. I use manual mode for normal settings, then single shot shooting mode, and what ever program on the remote i like to use.

Mine also did that at first, but what I did was put in the rite sd card and go into the settings and format the card first and then take 1 picture and make sure it saved to the sd card. Then go back into settings and check and go through all your settings making sure everything is correct. It's a lot easier to do it if you have the touch back lcd for it.

This could very well be a SD card issue.... I've seen this happen on one of my friend's SLRs when they tried using a older SD card (that is not class 6 or higher).... Even if urs is class 6, it might not be a bad idea to try using a different SD Card, as the one that u mite be using now might be defective..... Good luck.....

I haven't heard of that one but I'd try updating the camera's firmware. That should re-flash both the camera and lens, perhaps fixing it. If that doesn't work, my guess is that you'll have to get a replacement. The camera has already had two firmware releases and one is due out in a few weeks (8/24/2014) that's supposed to add new video features.

I would go with the other comment by EDay. I usually have found if my camera is not performing a certain function it is probably a setting has accidently been changed. Sometimes an employee at a local camera shop can help you out-they like to show al they know. Good Luck!

I have a 7D. it sounds like you have your camera set on the self timer or something. Try the continuous shot. It should work.

Thanks for the reply. We actually ended up returning the camera to FP after calling the help center and trying different cards. The card reader must have been broken, because the replacement camera they sent us, read all the cards we had tried in the old one... FP did send the new camera with no problem.

No, it's not normal, it should work. Has you checked the firmware versions in camera and lens?

Haven't noticed that problem specifically, however, the shutter lag is horrendous on either alkaline or lithium and might be related as I leave the setting at auto flash most of the time.

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.

I thought I had the same problem but it seems that this particular type of camera is just a piece of junk. Sorry you got stuck with this!!

Yes. Send it back right away. The camera is faulty. Other than that, just to be absolutely sure go into camera settings and reset all to default before you make a final decision.

Mine sometimes doesn't read any memory card put into it. I had to take out the battery, fit it back in and then able to take just one photo shot. The zoom doesn't work for me as well.

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

Perfectly? 1. Have you been able to use the LCD display to set a timed interval exposure? 2. did you try to use the grip's arrow buttons to move the focus point while in live mode?

Make sure your camera is in the mode to use the remote. I had a problem as well at first and then realized my camera was not in the mode for remote use.

It must be defective because mine works all of the time. Since I have had the camera I only had one incident. I unplugged the camera and restarted it and have never had another problem.
