Operating Instructions

The Newell RS3-C1 remote control features a two-stage shutter button and a shutter lock mechanism for versatile shooting.

1. Autofocus: Gently press the shutter button on the remote control halfway down. This will activate your camera's autofocus system, similar to pressing the camera's own shutter button halfway.
2. Shutter Release: To take a photo, press the shutter button on the remote control fully down. The camera will capture the image.
3. Shutter Lock (for Continuous Shooting or Bulb Mode): For continuous shooting or long exposures using Bulb mode, press the shutter button fully down and then slide the button forward to engage the lock. The shutter will remain open or continue firing as long as the lock is engaged (depending on camera settings). To disengage, slide the button back.
