Remote Control Batteries

North American customers will have batteries already inserted in the remote control. International customers will need to provide two CR2016 lithium batteries, due to shipping limitations on lithium batteries.

To install batteries

  1. Open the back of the remote by removing three phillips head screws

  2. Remove the empty black plastic ring from inside the silver battery retainer by sliding sideways

  3. Insert two CR2016 batteries into the plastic ring, (+) facing the flat part of the retainer

  4. Insert the plastic ring with batteries into the silver battery retainer

  5. Reinstall the back and three phillips head screws

Operation

  1. Attach the Remote Control Shutter Release to your tripod via the D-ring/wire keyring or to your camera via the cold shoe foot

  2. Attach the threaded tip of the release cable to your lens/camera shutter button

  3. Power on the Remote Control Shutter Release. It will retract the cable automatically if the cable is not already retracted (this makes a small beep sound)

  4. Cock your camera’s shutter. If possible, test the shutter release before taking your actual photo. If you’ll be near the 330ft (100 meter) maximum range, test that the shutter release will work from your intended triggering location.

  5. Take your photo by pressing the ON button on the remote control. When the shutter release is moving, the LED will turn off. When the release is in the triggered position, the LED will turn RED.

  6. After the camera’s timed shutter has closed, or sufficient exposure time has elapsed, press the OFF button on the remote. The LED will turn off while moving, and will turn BLUE when releasing is complete.

  7. If your camera permits, you can trigger the camera again to take additional photos.

Notes On Care

  • Don’t store the Remote Control Shutter Release for long periods of time (1 year or longer) with the batteries installed, as AA batteries may leak with age

  • Do not submerge any part in water or use in heavy rain
