I was thinking this was for setting off my strobe lights. Did I have a brain fart, or is this just a remotre shutter release for long exposures?

It is a remote shutter release, but not only for long exposures (for any expposure). If your camera is part of a system that allows your pop-up flash or a flash unit on your camera's hot shoe to trigger other flash units as well, this remote release is also useful for that type of work.

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

I haven't used it as a shutter release but will work. There's a switch on the transmitter that will switcj from flash trigger to shutter trigger.

I was thinking it was something else which was a rip-0ff.. The FotoTech worked fine right out of the package on my Nikon D3200. Check to make sure the battery is good. I did not have to do any setup. I have not tried it from the front;;I used it from behind the camera.

On my camera I am able to choose "Bulb" setting which allows long exposures. Using my remote I activate the opening of the shutter, using it again closes the shutter. There is only one button on the remote. Remember to point the remote at the infrared receiver on the camera. On mine I had to point at the front of the camera.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about time lapse photos. Frankly, I did not realize it had a timeout setting that cannot be over-ridden. My use of this has been purely as a wireless shutter release cable doing product photography. Will merely taking a shot before the 15 minute timeout reset the timer for another 15 minutes?

I'm not sure what your're trying to do. I haven't used this in years, but I don't "program", I only use it for shutter release button.I used this with Canon 7D. My guess is what the "delay remote" is to set your camera to delay shooting, like 2 seconds or 10 seconds is the norm.

The purpose of this device is for cameras that do not have a PC Sync port. If the Strobe has a sync port, then this would work. What this device will not do is sit on a remote flash and trigger it from a camera connected with a pc sync port...it is a 1-way operation from the hotshoe of the camera out of the pc sync port. The hotshoe on the top of this device is so you can trigger a remote flash via pc sync AND have another flash on top of the camera

It is the image stabilizer. It was very irritating to me as well in the beginning. But when I use the camera outside under normal conditions I don't realize it anymore at all.

No. This is a flash, not a continuous light. I think you are looking for some king of light to video recording, this is for photography.

There is no direct connection to you camera..... It's used as a "slave" Just plug it in to electrical power and any flash will set it off..... ie a studio light or your on camera flash.Keep in mind if you have what is called TTL flash or "through the lens" this light will mess up the flash exposure.Depending on your expertise in photography.... for now, don't worry about the TTL stuff.... just plug it in and fire a flash and see how nice it works.....I'll answer any follow-up questions if needed

Yes, it is probably more useful as a slave light than as a main flash. Honestly I thought it was a piece of junk and sold it to someone for 50 bucks, he was not happy with it and wanted to return it to me. It really just does not work well with the more advanced Nikons. It does not seem to react as fast as the camera.

There are two very low power LED's, a green one that shows the camera is active and a red one that comes on when the motion sensor is triggered. I don't think these would be an issue in a security situation and there may be a way to turn them off in the menus. The bigger issue is that the UV flash does light up visibly when triggered. It's doesn't project any visible light on the subject, but there is a dim pinkish glow from the array itself. It is very noticeable to the human eye. I don't think animals notice it, but I have seen it when I trigger the camera myself. A person might not catch it unless they are looking right at the camera, but, if they are, they won't miss it.

I ordered that and when I received it, it would not work beyond 10ft pointed straight at the sensor. I called the company and they said it was a bad one and sent a replacement. I got the same effect with the replacement. So personally I think you would be better off with a cable switch or just using timer on your camera. these DO NOT get the range specified so I count them as a piece of crap. I certainly would not use it to attempt wildlife photography or anything of that nature. This answer is based off of using a canon rebel xs. Dslr

Actually it is. I had to find out how to use it in 4 months. A lot of people on here said it but never explain it. I'll explain it for ya. When you got to the "menu", scroll down to where it reads "Enable Shutter Release". That's how you use it. I never knew what that meant and Sony damn sure ain't going to you either. My advise is get a really good tripod and the remote control. If you hand held shoot with these tubes, you'll be pissed. Enjoy, peace.

Go to the DRO settings (Dynamic Range Optimizer) and turn it off completely. Make sure it's not in "Auto". The DRO is very useful in extreme lighting situations and to lift exposure in the dark areas of a photo. It's almost like the HDR mode but only with one shot.

This is probably an alarm setting for movement that is triggered by movement in the camera's field of vision like a tree blowing in the wind, etc. You need to turn off audio alarms.
