My old s230 did remote shooting. Canon removed this feature for no reason other than greed. Make something old and simple an "advanced feature" and charge more for it. Last canon I buy.

If you are refering to remote shooting with the Canon SD1000 using the included Canon ZoomBrowser EX software on a PC, then I believe the answer is: You can't. The ZoomBrowser EX software is included with a lot of Canon Camera models, some of which support remote shooting/shutter using PC software. I admit, it would be cool if it worked, but seems really more or use for larger SLR type cameras. JMHO.

The cable is used to connect the remote receiver to the camera. The receiver is attached on the camera hot shoe and the remote is used to remotely fire the camera. The remote is wire less and you can activate the camera from a distance. The remote can also be attached to the cable to take photos at set intervals, etc.

I didn't get mine to work correctly yet, but according to the manual, you need to make sure you connect the + and - cables from the camera to the + and - of the remote control. I think you also need a kenwood head unit to be able to control from it. Hope that helps.

What kind of camera and flash are you using ? Most flashes and cameras you can run wireless or an a cable to it. . you can also get a L bracket to hold camera and flash thus allowing the Hotshoe free to use with remote

Thanks for the info. In case you were able to configure successfully, please do let us knw... Might come in handy, in case the remote falters. I've not had any issues with the remote ever since I started using it... Hope it stays the same... :)

i hooked up a standard usb pc webcam into the usb port and could not get it to work with skype or see the video input from the camera anywhere else in any of the menus.there may be a solution but, that is as far as i went with it...the skype menu reported that no webcam was found, you can purchase a skype compatible webcam blah blah blah

No software or disks were with my 2 cameras. It is totally plug and play. Just plug the USB cable in the port and the Mic cable in the port and allow the computer to find new hardware. Maybe to make sure it is working reboot. Then go to My Computer to see if it is in there, and if so, just click on it and it will show what it sees.

Yes I was able to do this by buying a cord online with the appropriate sized ends....found one on amazon. Wired the flash out up to the camera trigger in....then every time I shot with hand held camera the remote cameras fired too.

Confirmed, I have the D7100 and ML-L3 and they work together. You can configure the remote to do 2s delay, immediate shot, Mirror Up, or turn it off, which appears to be the default. If it doesn't work, be sure to enable it under Menu &gt; Shooting Menu &gt; Remote control mode (ML-L3).

I'm not sure I never got mine to work. Wish I was more help. the camera may be ok but they sent it with third party software that didn't work. I googled for an answer and found lots of issues with the same problem and other people. I downloaded it from the mfg site and installed it. Still didn't work and after investigation it is a cloud type software that I felt was a security risk. I would buy from a reputable company.

I have the same question, actually. That's the only reason I haven't bought it yet. I would love to get myself in shots, as well as the entire family, but the problem I have now with just using the camera's self-timer is that you can't autofocus on yourself when you're behind the camera! The review I read seems to say that you can't autofocus using just the remote...but B. Babb's response makes me think otherwise. I'm sure someone else out there would care to clarify...

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.

For a simple web cam it works fine but I haven't been able to get any of the other functions like night vision or the zoom to work. No software comes with it and the company that made them doesn't have them listed on their website either so I have no idea where or how to get the proper drivers for it.

Mainly it is made for you to use it with Video, you roll the video shoot and stop then trim the parts of running video and stoping it. Using Apps like camera+ or other photography apps will enable you to set a timer for the shot and then you'll be able to take a picture with the phone remotely.

You do not receive any software to install, but to be perfectly honest, I have never been able to get it to work online with my desktop computer. . . which is fairly recently purchased and pretty up-to-date. . .I wanted to use it to Skype, but although it will show me, it didn't act compatible with Skype.

Hi George. I tried the software, but I don't use it anyway. I prefer to just drag and drop files onto the AK 100, or the installed memory cards. You don't really need the software. Hope this helps.
