Nikon ML-L3 Remote Control

Product Information

To synchronise the shutters of one or more remote cameras with the shutter on a master camera, attach the WR-1 to the master camera. In master mode, a WR-1 can control up to 20 other cameras, each with WR-1 units attached, or 64 cameras each with an WR-R10 attached. NB As before, the master camera must have a 10-pin connection. Then pair all WR-1 units to the same channel and/or group (as above) and set the transmitter to sync mode by selecting sync on the multi selector and pressing OK. Now the shutters on all cameras will be released simultaneously. Use the connection wizard to create a network profile: under network settings, select create profile, then highlight the connection wizard and press the right side of the multi-selector pad. Select PC image transfer method, enter a profile name and press OK when done. Cameras with a 10-pin connector can be set up to be a 'master' camera, so when you press the shutter button on that camera body, the remote cameras paired to it will all fire simultaneously (up to around 50m away). Camera remotes have all sorts of use cases. Physically pressing the shutter button can cause tiny vibrations in the body, which can compromise an image in situations where focusing is extremely precise, such as macro photography, or in situations where an image can be affected by motion blur, like long exposures. Being able to trigger a camera remotely also lets you move away if you want to avoid casting a shadow, or helps you keep a distance from skittish wildlife. The WR-1 wireless remote controller can help you get the best shots, video and time-lapse sequences using one or multiple cameras, when you can't physically be where you want to be – whether that's because you're shooting wildlife in the field or you're in a situation where you aren't allowed to get too close, such as a press conference or sporting event, or even the school play.

For photographers using the D4 series, D810/A, D750, D7200 or D7100 cameras, the UT-1 communication unit will provide an ethernet connection going from the camera to a computer or FTP server. In PC mode, you can even shoot from the laptop, providing it's running Camera Control Pro 2 software. For those same cameras, the UT-1 used with the WT-5A will also enable high-speed image transfer over wireless LAN to a computer or FTP server. While the mirror is raised, photos can not be framed in the viewfinder and autofocus and metering will not be performed. A green box will surround the network profile name indicating a good network connection (it will be red if there is a problem connecting). Also note the small network icon; it will be a wi-fi antenna bar or a small computer network icon.At DCW, we test a huge variety of photo and video equipment, from cameras and lenses to essential accessories such as camera remotes. Our team of imaging experts takes products out into the field to test them in real-world shooting scenarios, and for camera remotes, looks at specs like camera compatibility, connection options, connection reliability and physical size/weight. We use our reviewers' findings to inform our comments in buying guides. Camera remotes: five things to consider I don't represent myself to be a remote (or battery) expert, but as far as I can tell, the difference between the CR2025 the ML-L3 comes with and the CR2032 I had won't make a difference here. Perhaps in a watch with very tight fit tolerances you might go awry, but in this rather loose fitting tray, it's fine. Infrared Remote Control enables wireless remote shutter release of select Nikon D-SLR and COOLPIX cameras.

Remote Control Mode (ML-L3) Remote Control Mode (ML-L3)

Before taking a photograph with the flash in manual pop-up modes ( 0 Manual Pop-up Modes), press the M ( Y) button to raise the flash and wait for the flash-ready indicator ( M) to be displayed ( 0 The Built-in Flash). Shooting will be interrupted if the flash is raised while remote control mode is in effect. If the flash is required, the camera will only respond to the ML-L3 shutter-release button once the flash has charged. In auto pop-up modes ( 0 Auto Pop-up Modes), the flash will begin charging when remote control mode is selected; once the flash is charged, it will automatically pop up and fire when required. While there are plenty of camera triggering apps out there, a good remote release is a much more reliable solution, one that isn't dependent on an unreliable smartphone battery. Different releases use different triggering methods: some are cabled physically to the camera, others are wireless infra-red, and others use more advanced wireless systems like radio frequency, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi – extra-useful as they don't require direct line of sight. For one thing, I have Foolography Unleashed, which uses a bluetooth dongle to trigger the shutter as well as send GPS data and also intervalometer functions.The Wireless Remote Controller kit includes the WR-R10 transceiver (controller) which is attached to the DSLR and receives signals from the WR-T10 transmitter. Alternatively, you could use multiple WR-1 remote controllers, which are both transmitter and transceiver in one. Because these systems use radio frequencies instead of infrared, you aren't limited to line-of-sight operation. Their ranges are also much greater than infrared options – around 20m for the WR-T10 to the WR-R10, 50m for a transmitting WR-R10 to a transceiving WR-R10, and a whopping 120m for WR-1 to WR-1. In flash modes that support red-eye reduction, the red-eye reduction lamp will light for about one second before the shutter is released. In delayed remote mode, the self-timer lamp will light for two seconds, followed by the red-eye reduction lamp which lights for one second before the shutter is released.
