Customer Reviews
I bought the Opteka RC-3 Infrared Remote Control through my wife's Amazon account, to use with my Sony Alpha 700. The skimpy instruction sheet that came with the control is cryptic and at first I could not get the control to work.
After removing "the plastic separator in the battery compartment, The sheet says 2 "Turn on the camera"; I did.
The sheet says 3 "Turn your camera in quick response mode"; I have no clue what this means but it is irrelevant, because what you have to do is press the "DRIVE" button on top of the camera body to access the different Drive modes on the camera's LCD monitor.
The sheet says 4 "Toggle between the different settings using left and right arrow. What you need to do is use the camera's multi-selector to toggle ALL THE WAY DOWN on the Drive mode screen to the "Remote Commander" setting, then press the multi-selector to accept and exit.
Once this process is completed, the remote works like a charm. The product's price/value is good and I would have rated it 4 or five stars if it was not for the poor instructions and lack of online support.
Works great for bulb, self portrait and timer settings and way cheaper than sony model.
