Setup
1. Battery Installation
The Insignia Wireless Shutter Control typically uses a CR2025 lithium button cell battery. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote. Use a small coin or screwdriver to open the compartment. Insert the battery with the positive (+) side facing up, then close the compartment securely.
2. Camera Setup (Nikon DSLR)
To use the wireless remote, your Nikon DSLR camera must be set to remote control mode. The exact steps may vary slightly by camera model, but generally involve:
- Turn on your camera.
- Access the camera's menu or drive mode settings.
- Select the "Remote Control" or "Remote" option. This is often found under the "Release Mode" or "Drive Mode" settings. Some cameras may have a dedicated remote control icon.
- Ensure the camera's infrared receiver (usually on the front of the camera body) is unobstructed.
Refer to your camera's instruction manual for specific details on enabling remote control mode.
Operating Instructions
Taking a Photo
Once your camera is set to remote control mode:
- Point the Insignia Wireless Shutter Control towards the infrared receiver on your camera. The remote works best when pointed directly at the receiver within a range of approximately 5-10 meters (16-33 feet).
- Press the large circular button on the remote.
- The camera's shutter will activate, taking a photo.
For cameras with a delayed remote mode (e.g., 2-second delay), pressing the button once will trigger the delay, and the photo will be taken after the set time.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
Storage
Store the remote in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the battery to prevent leakage.
