How to Use a Remote for a Digital Camera
Using a remote control for your camera can eliminate the need to find someone to take a picture when you want to be in the shot. Capabilities of remotes vary but they all have a shutter release for times when you cannot manually press the camera's shutter button. Wired remotes attach directly to the camera so the wire will limit how far you can be from the camera but wireless remotes allow you to move up to 30 feet from the receiver.
- Install batteries in the remote. Some remotes receive power directly from the camera so your remote may not require batteries
- Set the channel selector on the receiver and remote to the same channel. This applies to wireless remotes only
- Plug the remote into the camera. On wireless remotes, plug the receiver into the camera. Look at the plug for any marks that indicate the direction to turn the plug when you insert it into the camera. Some plugs have rings, which must be screwed into the camera plug
- Set your camera to "AutoFocus" and attach it to a tripod. You can place your camera on a sturdy surface if you do not have a tripod
- Press the remote's shutter control button to take a picture. Some remotes will adjust your zoom settings and time-intervals on the camera
Tips & Warnings
- Telephoto and close-up shots are susceptible to camera shake, using a tripod and remote will help eliminate vibration
- Make sure your remote has a clear view of your camera
- Do not look at the infrared light in your remote; it can damage your eyes
About Camera Shutter Release:
- Camera Basics: The two main components that work together on a camera is the aperture and shutter speed. The aperture controls how much light is let into the camera body, hitting the film/sensors, while the shutter speed dictates how long the light lasts
- Shutter Speed: Within the camera body is a mechanism that controls how long the film/sensors are exposed to the light. In low light situations, the shutter is open for longer. In bright light, the shutter opens and closes in a fraction of a second
- Shutter Release Cables: A shutter release cable connects to the camera and allows the photographer to take a photograph without having to touch the camera. In manual, 35 mm cameras, with no electronic controls, a wire with in the cable was pushed out to press down on the shutter release button. In modern cameras with electronic controls, the shutter release cable sends an electrical signal telling the camera to operate the shutter and take the photograph.
- Low Light: In low light situations in which the shutter in the camera remains open for a longer period of time, any movement of the camera during the exposure will result in a fuzzy or blurry photograph. A tripod is employed in low light situations and a shutter release cable is used to further minimize any potential movement of the camera during the exposure
- Other Uses: Portrait photographers will often use a shutter release cable when they take portraits. It is easier for subjects to have a person to connect with when the portrait is being taken than just being asked to sit still, smile and look at the camera. The photographer can easily interact with his subjects, resulting in more natural, relaxed portraits
How to Set Shutter Speed and Aperture:
- Set the correct film speed on the shutter speed dial on the top left of the camera
- Determine the shutter speed and corresponding aperture setting - also known as an f-stop - using a built-in or hand-held light meter. (See "How to Read a Light Meter.")
- Set the aperture using the aperture ring on the camera lens. Aperture settings indicate the size of the opening in the lens and range from F2 to F22 on the typical camera
- Set the shutter speed using the shutter speed dial on top of the camera. Shutter speed is measured in fractions of a second and ranges from 1 second to 1/1000 of a second on the average camera
