Introduction
The AODELAN PEBBLE Wireless Shutter Remote system is designed to provide versatile camera control for photographers. It comprises a transmitter and a receiver, offering both wireless and wired functionality. This remote allows for precise control over various shooting modes, including autofocus, single shot, delayed release, continuous release, and long exposures using Bulb mode. Its robust 2.4GHz digital radio technology ensures stable operation up to 80 meters (262 feet).
The receiver can be used independently as a wired shutter remote without batteries, providing flexibility in different shooting scenarios. For wireless operation, the receiver can be controlled by up to 100 transmitters by setting a smart code. Please ensure the receiver is turned on before use for wireless functionality.

Operating Instructions
Basic Shutter Control
- Autofocus: Half-press the shutter button on the transmitter to activate autofocus.
- Single Shot: Full-press the shutter button on the transmitter to take a single photo.
Advanced Shooting Modes
- Delayed Release: Use the delay function on the transmitter (typically a button with a timer icon) to set a 3-second delay before the shutter fires. This helps eliminate camera shake.
- Continuous Release: For continuous shooting, press and hold the transmitter's shutter button. The camera will continue to capture images until the red light on the transmitter goes out, indicating the release of the button.
- Bulb Mode (Long Exposure): The remote supports Bulb mode for extended exposures. Consult your camera's manual for specific settings to enable Bulb mode. Once enabled, the remote can be used to control the duration of the exposure.
Wireless Performance
The PEBBLE remote utilizes 2.4GHz digital radio technology, providing a stable working distance of up to 80 meters (262 feet). This robust connection minimizes interference and allows for flexible positioning during shoots.

Professional Anti-Shake
Using a remote shutter release significantly reduces camera shake, especially during long exposures or when shooting with telephoto lenses. This results in sharper, clearer images.

Maintenance
- Keep the remote and receiver clean and dry. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity.
- When not in use for extended periods, remove batteries from the receiver to prevent leakage.
- Store the remote and cables in a protective case to prevent damage and fraying.
- Replace batteries promptly when performance degrades.
Troubleshooting
- Remote not responding:
- Ensure both the transmitter and receiver have fresh batteries installed.
- Verify the receiver is powered on (green LED should be lit).
- Check that the connection cable is securely plugged into both the receiver and the camera's remote port.
- Confirm your camera is set to the correct remote control mode (refer to your camera's manual).
- Ensure you are within the effective operating range (up to 80m/262ft).
- Camera not focusing or taking pictures:
- Make sure the camera is turned on and in a shooting mode.
- Check camera settings for remote control compatibility.
- If using wired mode, ensure the cable is not damaged.
- Short battery life:
- Extreme cold weather can reduce battery performance.
- Ensure the receiver is turned off when not in use.
