Canon Remote Wireless Control For Canon EOS d-SLR Cameras RC-1 (http://www.digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au/prod4304.htm)

This miniature infrared transmitter operates at ranges of up to 5m/16.4 ft., and may be set for either instant shutter release or 2-second delay. The RC-1 may also be used to activate mirror-lock and bulb-shutter functions. Remote RC-1 suits EOS 400D, EOS 350D, EOS 300D d-SLR cameras.

yes, i think it only has a shutter release button though nothing fancy like say the TC-80N3

[T Kubik]

Yes, but I personally prefer this one

because it has a shutter lock switch on it (though it also has a wire). I guess it depends on what you're using it for.

[AussieCat]

sorry, whats the shutter lock switch do?

is that like mirror thing

No, it's for bulb exposures (no set shutter speed, or shutter speeds loner than 30 seconds). You can just lock the shutter in the open position and close it whenever you want without disturbing the camera.

[AussieCat]

interesting.

cause i do wanna take some pics for atleast 3 seonds etc.

does that mean, i should get the one u dais not the standard one i mentioned in first thread.

as i want to be able to set the shutter speed from cam then press the snap button from the remote control....

No, you can use the one you mentioned for 3 second exposures, just set the camera to 3 sec shutter speed and press the button on your remote.

[AussieCat]

I got one of these for less than $10.00 that included shipping. It works great. I was given a wireless remote it doesnt work very good. so I bought this one with a cord.

Wireless only works from infront of the camera thats where the sensor is. also you can't do bulb exposures with the wireless one.

[AussieCat]

damn, i see.

freeze you can do bulb exposures with theRC1. its true you have to be pointing it at the front of the camera,you can be off to the side and be able to hit the sensor.the range is about 15 feet.

[AussieCat]

Instead of holding the button down the entire time for bulb exposure you can lock the button in a down position.

press it once to open shutter, press the butten a second time to close the shutter.it will even auto focus for you.

[AussieCat]

interesting

i wonder if the basic remote i mentiond at first has this

press it once to open shutter, press the butten a second time to close the shutter.it will even auto focus for you.

Yes, you certainly can do bulb exposures with the RC-1. Because you have to operate it, pointing the remote at the front of the camera, it has a sliding switch on it which allows you a 2 second delay from clicking the control button, so that you can get you and your hand out of view in time. For bulb exposures, you click the black control button on the remote to open the camera's shutter, then click again to close whenever you want.

The rc-1 is line of sight - the receiver is on front of camera at about 10:00 - little glass window looking thing [ on XTI ] I f you can't see it , neither can hand remote . If you get one , remove battery when not using it .
It's not to bad to take a picture you don't want , but I learned the hard way with cam-corder . Went to take picture/movie but was out of tape . Got an interesting conversation on tape thou .

On my 300D I can just plug in my cell phone handset and use the little button to trip the shutter, AF too, just like the Canon accessories. Cost me $1.00 at my local dollar store...

You might want to try this out and see if it works well for you before shelling out for a Canon model.

[r.morales]

I need that cable , which [ name ] dollar store
