I'd suggest to set it to P mode and auto ISO (100-1600). I have a Yongnuo RF-603C wireless remote, but I'm not sure if the shot at the beach would still be in range to trigger the camera. canon | sigma | thinktank | sandisk | lexar | radiopopper | rrs | b+w | eneloop | creative light | westcott | upstrap

Jun 25, 2013 18:38 | #3 How about running an Eye-Fi card? Are any of you doing that? I'd love to be able to take pictures with the G and have them go straight to my cell phone. Fun stuff. Thank you.

Are any of you doing that? I'd love to be able to take pictures with the G and have them go straight to my cell phone. Fun stuff. From the manual About Eye-Fi Cards This product is not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions (including wireless transfer). In case of an issue with an Eye-Fi card, please check with the card manufacturer. Also note that an approval is required to use Eye-Fi cards in many countries or regions. Without approval, use of the card is not permitted. If it is unclear whether the card has been approved for use in the area, please check with the card manufacturer. I think that's just standard legal boilerplate and so sort-of implies that Eye-Fi cards will work just fine. That's just me guessing, though, and - as the manual says - no guarantees are given. Some digital cameras, some film cameras, some lenses & other kit.

Isn't the Yongnuo RF-603C a flash trigger? It looks a bit like a PocketWizard flash trigger too...

It's for both. I can trigger what ever it's hooked up to. You put it on the hot shoe, then run the wire to the G1X port, set up the camera and trigger it. canon | sigma | thinktank | sandisk | lexar | radiopopper | rrs | b+w | eneloop | creative light | westcott | upstrap

It'll function exactly the same as if a wired remote is connected to it?

I have not tried AEB, but if all it takes is setting the camera to that function and pressing the shutter only once, then the Yongnuo should work. canon | sigma | thinktank | sandisk | lexar | radiopopper | rrs | b+w | eneloop | creative light | westcott | upstrap

If it works flawlessly then I would consider buying the trigger. The reason why I asked is because I've had difficulties with AEB and my Micro-4/3 cameras plus third party wireless triggers.

OK it works, but you can't have the trigger on the hot shoe because the camera thinks it's a flash and AEB won't work with flash. You just need to secure the trigger by different needs. canon | sigma | thinktank | sandisk | lexar | radiopopper | rrs | b+w | eneloop | creative light | westcott | upstrap
