Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control

After three attempts to obtain the original remote, I finally obtained one that worked better and did not require me to point the device directly at the sensor. br>br>To use it, go to your camera's menu and select one from the remote options. Holding the button down causes it to appear to focus before snapping. In Nikon's camera menu options, there are various modes that allow you to take a delayed shot or a shot as soon as you press the shutter button. There is also mirror lockup for long exposure modes. The best part is that the IR doesn't need to be in line; instead, it uses bounce-off technology, which works with the remote pointed in most directions. I'd like to shoot mostly self-portraits and landscapes because they'll get the job done without any problems. When doing portraits or group shots, make sure you're using the right focus mode, which is crucial for nailing the focus. br>br>I've included some images that contrast the original produce on the right with the cheap knockoffs on the left. So please do yourself a favor and purchase the original from a Nikon Authorized Dealer. Amazon is one of them, but they do not provide fulfillment. The first and second remotes, as you can see in the images, are knockoffs. The distinctions are as follows: 1) The first and second remotes appear to be made of cheap plastic with rough edges. Nothing is in its proper place. br>2) The remotes 1 and 2 have a greenish logo on the front and a greenish button. Real ones have grayish whitebr>3) Look at the fake ones' holes near the buttonsbr>4) Look at the Battery brand on the 12 cheap Chinese batteries. Original pouch is better quality and see the velcro differencebr>7) Original comes with a documentbr>8) Fake ones box Nikon logo is in yellow color compared to orangebr>9) Fake ones box is matte finish and original Nikon has glossy finish to the boxbr>10) See the Nikon logo on the device, compare letter Obr>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br br>br>If you get the right product, it works great and doesn't feel like flimsy plastic.

The remote worked right out of the box, which is the most important factor in awarding this product three stars. It doesn't get five stars because the remote I got wasn't an authentic Nikon product as advertised. On the front of the remote I received, instead of just "Nikon," it said "For Nikon. " I paid a premium for this item because I wanted the genuine article, so I was extremely disappointed to receive a knock-off. off. The only other issue I've noticed is that it can be finicky at times, requiring you to point the remote at the exact right spot on the camera or it will not work. It's not a major issue, but it can be aggravating when it occurs.

I was ecstatic when I discovered this remote control on Amazon because I was looking for something to take with me on a trip to India. I should have tested it before leaving because it's a complete waste of time! In order for the remote to work, it must be pointed DIRECTLY at the FRONT of the camera. Even so, you'll need to press the 5- button on the remote. In order for the camera to receive the signal, you must repeat the process eight times. As a result, when the shutter finally releases, the photographer's face is frequently filled with utter frustration. I understand it's a budget camera, but I had high hopes for Nikon. I would not purchase this product again!.

A genuine Nikon remote is shown in the photo, with the word "Nikon" prominently displayed on the front. Instead of Nikon, it says "Monopiece" on the one that arrived. Thanks for the false advertising; if I wanted a knockoff, I would have bought one. Seller with a bad reputation!.

This item was a must-have for my photography collection. This should be one of the first items added to anyone's kit, and the price makes it a no-brainer. br>br>By reducing camera vibration caused by pressing the sutter button on the camera, this product allows you to capture razor sharp images. When working in low-light situations, at night, or with macro photography, where shutter speeds can be a second or longer and even the tiniest camera vibration can ruin an otherwise great shot, this is critical. Furthermore, when using this remote trigger, you don't need to be prefocused. If your camera is set to Autofocus, pressing the trigger button on the remote will cause the camera to autofocus and then release the shutter as if you had pressed the shutter release button on the camera. If your camera is set to manual focus, pressing the shutter release button on the remote will open the shutter without autofocusing, allowing you to manually focus the lens before remotely releasing the trigger. br>br>And, if nothing else, it beats waiting for the 10 second timer (every 360 pictures you take waiting for the timer is an hour you could have spent photographing something else). br>br>I've used this remote in almost every photographic situation where I've set up my camera and tripod, though I find that this product is especially well suited for landscape photography, macro photography, and studio photography. If you plan on doing any kind of night or twilight photography, this is a must-have. Additionally, if your focal length is greater than a DX camera's equivalent of 150mm, this is a must-have accessory. Even the tiniest vibration will blur your subject at these focal lengths. br>br>Finally, the remote has an indoor range of 1" to 100' from the sensor. You should keep in mind, however, that the camera's sensor is located in the front. Only when using lenses with a very short barrel length or a very wide angle of view, such as a fisheye lens, is this a problem. Even with the Nikon 10-megapixel camera, I've found that I've never had a problem hiding the remote with the 24mm wide-angle lens. Because most lens barrels are longer than the remote, it's simple to trigger the camera by placing the remote next to the lens.
