Nikon WR-R11b/WR-T10 Wireless Remote Controller Set Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The Nikon WR-R11b/WR-T10 Remote Controller Set is designed to provide wireless control over the shutter release of compatible Nikon cameras and radio-controlled flash units, such as the SB-5000 Speedlight. This set utilizes radio frequencies for communication, allowing photographers to remotely trigger the shutter on multiple cameras simultaneously when paired with WR-R11a/b or WR-R10 units. This manual provides detailed instructions for setting up, operating, and maintaining your remote controller set.

2. What's in the Box

Upon unboxing your Nikon WR-R11b/WR-T10 Remote Controller Set, you should find the following components:

• WR-R11b Wireless Remote Controller (Receiver)
• WR-T10 Wireless Remote Controller (Transmitter)

3. Setup

3.1. Battery Installation

Both the WR-R11b receiver and WR-T10 transmitter require batteries for operation. Refer to the battery compartment markings for correct polarity (+/-) when inserting batteries. Typically, these devices use AAA batteries.

3.2. Connecting the Receiver to Your Camera

The WR-R11b receiver is designed to fit cameras with an accessory port. Securely attach the receiver to your camera's hot shoe or accessory terminal. Connect the appropriate cable from the receiver to your camera's remote terminal.

3.3. Pairing Transmitter and Receiver

To ensure proper communication, the WR-T10 transmitter and WR-R11b receiver must be paired to the same channel. Consult your camera's manual for specific instructions on setting the remote control channel. Typically, you will power on both devices and adjust the channel settings on both units until they match.

4. Operating Instructions

The WR-T10 transmitter offers various shooting modes to enhance your photography experience. Ensure your camera is set to the appropriate mode (e.g., Single Shot, Continuous, Bulb) to match the remote's function.

4.1. Single Shooting Mode

For taking a single photograph, set both your camera and the remote control to 'Single Shot' mode. Half-press the shutter button on the remote to focus, then fully press to capture the image.

4.2. Continuous Shooting Mode

To capture a series of images rapidly, set your camera to 'Continuous Shooting' mode and the remote to 'Continuous Shot' mode. Half-press the remote's shutter button to focus. Fully press and hold the button to continuously capture photos. Release the button to stop. The number of frames captured depends on your camera's settings and capabilities.

4.3. Bulb (Long Exposure) Mode

For long exposure photography, set your camera to 'Bulb' mode. On the remote, select the 'Bulb' setting. Half-press the remote's shutter button to focus. Fully press the button once to open the camera's shutter, and press it again to close the shutter. This allows for exposures longer than typically available through standard shutter speed settings, ideal for low-light or creative effects.

4.4. Delay Shooting (Self-Timer) Mode

Utilize the delay shooting mode for self-portraits or group shots where you need a short delay before the shutter fires. Set your camera to 'Single Shot' mode. On the remote, select the desired delay time (e.g., 2 seconds, 4 seconds). Half-press to focus, then fully press the shutter button. The camera will count down and then capture the image.

4.5. Interval Timer Mode

The interval timer mode is perfect for time-lapse photography. You can program the remote to take a specified number of shots at set intervals. Adjust the 'Delay' (initial delay before first shot), 'Long' (exposure time for each shot), 'Intvl' (interval between shots), and 'N' (number of exposures) parameters on the remote. Once configured, press the start/stop button to begin the sequence.

4.6. Auto Bracketing Timer (BKLN)

For advanced exposure bracketing, the remote may offer an auto bracketing timer (BKLN) function. This allows you to capture multiple images at different exposures automatically. Configure the bracketing settings on your camera and then activate the BKLN mode on the remote to trigger the sequence.

4.7. Lock Key Function

To prevent accidental button presses during long exposures or time-lapse sequences, the remote control features a 'Lock Key' function. Activate this feature to disable button input once your desired settings are applied and the shooting sequence has begun.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the remote controllers. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the remote controllers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if the devices will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
• Handling: Handle the devices with care. Avoid dropping them or subjecting them to strong impacts.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1. Remote Not Responding

• Check Batteries: Ensure both the transmitter and receiver have fresh batteries and are inserted correctly.
• Power On: Verify both units are powered on.
• Channel Match: Confirm that the transmitter and receiver are set to the same channel.
• Cable Connection: Ensure the cable connecting the receiver to the camera is securely attached.
• Camera Mode: Make sure your camera is set to a compatible remote control mode (e.g., remote control mode, self-timer mode).

6.2. Blurry Images in Long Exposure

• Camera Stability: Ensure your camera is mounted on a stable tripod.
• Remote Use: Using the remote prevents camera shake that can occur from manually pressing the shutter button. Ensure you are using the remote for all long exposures.
