Nikon ML-L3 Remote Control

Product Information

Nikon's WT wireless transmitters enable fast transmission of images – either automatically or by manual selection – direct from your camera to an FTP server or computer, and they also allow you to import IPTC photo metadata into the camera's memory before shooting, so the data is automatically attached to images as they're shot. This saves critical time for editors as well as photographers. They also enable a number of other useful functions, including camera operation from a computer via Camera Control Pro 2, and simultaneous release of multiple remote cameras from one master camera, depending on which WT transmitter you use. The ML-L3 has one simple button for shutter release. It does not have the capability to press it half way down to autofocus. Instead, it autofocuses just before it fires the shot. It is extremely handy for group shots, or times when you do not want to wait for the timer. Most of Nikon’s DSLR provide the ability to fire it directly or with a short 2 second pause / timer feature. Once connected, the camera will ask if you want the connection wizard to copy the profile to the computer. By choosing yes, it will do this and pair the camera with the computer. Go to your smart device's wi-fi settings and select the camera's wi-fi network or SSID in the list of networks displayed. (With Android smartphones, once you initially make this network connection, your device will automatically connect when you enable the camera's wi-fi. With Apple devices, you'll have to perform this step each time you want to use the wireless feature of your Nikon camera with your smart device.)

A Guide to Shooting Wirelessly with your D-SLR - Nikon School

At DCW, we test a huge variety of photo and video equipment, from cameras and lenses to essential accessories such as camera remotes. Our team of imaging experts takes products out into the field to test them in real-world shooting scenarios, and for camera remotes, looks at specs like camera compatibility, connection options, connection reliability and physical size/weight. We use our reviewers' findings to inform our comments in buying guides. Camera remotes: five things to consider Wireless remotes are now very affordable and give greater range, buta wired remote will give an uninterruptible connection. This new Mini version does exactly the same (though it’s no longer capable of Windows and Mac connectivity), and is around half the size of the original. Remote range is increased to 120m, however battery life is slightly reduced at 3-4 hours. Yes, it's old-school and low-fi, rather than wi-fi it can be handy because it's built into your Nikon camera, so you're never without it. It's ideal for group shots where you want to be in the picture, or for long exposures where you want to avoid the risk of shake from pressing the shutter button.If you're shooting a subject in direct line of sight, you can use either the ML-L3 or ML-3 remotes (depending on your camera), which use a beam of infrared light to trigger the camera. The range on the ML-L3 is around 5m from remote to camera, while the ML-3's range is roughly 8m. While there are plenty of camera triggering apps out there, a good remote release is a much more reliable solution, one that isn't dependent on an unreliable smartphone battery. Different releases use different triggering methods: some are cabled physically to the camera, others are wireless infra-red, and others use more advanced wireless systems like radio frequency, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi – extra-useful as they don't require direct line of sight. Press the button on the WU-1a/WU-1b, holding it down for about 5 seconds, until the LED on the adapter flashes.

In PC mode, you can even shoot from the laptop, providing it's running Camera Control Pro 2 software. For those same cameras, the UT-1 used with the WT-5A will also enable high-speed image transfer over wireless LAN to a computer or FTP server. Can the ML-L3 infrared remote be used with the Zs? I can't find an option for it. If not, which wireless triggers are compatible? Not only is the ML-L3 compatible with a wide range of Nikon cameras, but it is also designed to be reliable and durable. Constructed with high-quality materials, this compact remote controller ensures it can withstand regular use without compromising performance. The battery compartment is well-designed, securely holding the CR2025 battery in place. NB If the flash on your camera can pop up automatically, remember to disable this when you attach the WR-1.Remote control is cancelled automatically if no photograph is taken before the time selected for Custom Setting c5 ( Remote on duration (ML-L3), 0 Remote on Duration (ML-L3)), Off is selected for Remote control mode (ML-L3), a two-button reset is performed ( 0 Two-Button Reset: Restoring Default Settings), or shooting options are reset using Reset photo shooting menu ( 0 Reset Photo Shooting Menu). Choosing the length of time the camera will remain in stand-by mode waiting for a signal from the remote control, see A> Custom Setting c5 ( Remote on duration (ML-L3); 0 Remote on Duration (ML-L3)). Before using the remote control for the first time, remove the clear plastic battery-insulator sheet. If Record movies is selected for Custom Setting g1 ( Custom control assignment) > Shutter-release button, the ML-L3 can not be used when the live view selector is rotated to 1. For one thing, I have Foolography Unleashed, which uses a bluetooth dongle to trigger the shutter as well as send GPS data and also intervalometer functions.

The WR-1 wireless remote controller can help you get the best shots, video and time-lapse sequences using one or multiple cameras, when you can't physically be where you want to be – whether that's because you're shooting wildlife in the field or you're in a situation where you aren't allowed to get too close, such as a press conference or sporting event, or even the school play. The WT-4 offers wireless LAN for the D4 series. The WT-5 provides wireless LAN for the D4 series and the D5, as well as an optional HTTP server mode, enabling remote shooting and viewing of pictures. The WT-6 and WT-7 enable image-data transfer via high-speed wireless LAN for the D5 and D500 respectively, and both also offer HTTP server mode and FTP upload/camera control. On your smartphone or tablet, open the wi-fi settings and select the Nikon camera's network from the list of networks available. It will begin with Nikon, followed by a string of letters and numbers. (With Android smartphones, once you initially make this network connection, your device will automatically connect when you enable the camera's wi-fi in future. For Apple devices, you'll need to perform this step each time you want to use your camera's wireless feature with your smartphone.) Enable the camera's built-in wi-fi. Newer models have an external wi-fi button, while on older cameras you'll need to select wi-fi in the set-up menu.

While the mirror is raised, photos can not be framed in the viewfinder and autofocus and metering will not be performed. The Nikon ML-L3 features a one button simple design. It uses Infrared (IR) to transmit to the camera for the desired shutter release. Use the connection wizard to create a network profile: under network settings, select create profile, then highlight the connection wizard and press the right side of the multi-selector pad. Select PC image transfer method, enter a profile name and press OK when done. The wireless remote communicates with your camera via a separate hot-shoe mounted receiver unit which in turn connects via a sync cable. It’s a slightly bulky combo, but no other device like a phone or tablet is required, and the simple radio frequency connection works instantly with no prior setup.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth triggers harness the power of your smart device for even more comprehensive remote camera control.You're now set up to transfer images to your computer wirelessly. To upload new photographs automatically as they are taken, select on for network > options > auto send in the setup menu. You can choose to send both RAW or JPEGs or send JPEG only, and you can also start and stop video wirelessly. More options can be found in the camera's options menu under network. Despite being a wired rather than wireless controller, the TC-80N3 still requires a single CR2032 battery to power its LCD display and all-round cleverness. Connecting to compatible cameras like the EOS 5D IV and 7D Mark II via a three pin plug, the unit’s features include a self-timer, long-exposure timer, interval timer and the option to set the number of shots in a sequence. It also works as a straightforward remote control, with the same basic functions as Canon's RS-80N3 camera remote, even with no battery fitted. It’s simple to use, with a switch that cycles between the four main operating modes, a start/stop button, LCD display illumination switch and jog control for altering the settings. Before taking a photograph with the flash in manual pop-up modes ( 0 Manual Pop-up Modes), press the M ( Y) button to raise the flash and wait for the flash-ready indicator ( M) to be displayed ( 0 The Built-in Flash). Shooting will be interrupted if the flash is raised while remote control mode is in effect. If the flash is required, the camera will only respond to the ML-L3 shutter-release button once the flash has charged. In auto pop-up modes ( 0 Auto Pop-up Modes), the flash will begin charging when remote control mode is selected; once the flash is charged, it will automatically pop up and fire when required. The Wireless Remote Controller kit includes the WR-R10 transceiver (controller) which is attached to the DSLR and receives signals from the WR-T10 transmitter. Alternatively, you could use multiple WR-1 remote controllers, which are both transmitter and transceiver in one. Because these systems use radio frequencies instead of infrared, you aren't limited to line-of-sight operation. Their ranges are also much greater than infrared options – around 20m for the WR-T10 to the WR-R10, 50m for a transmitting WR-R10 to a transceiving WR-R10, and a whopping 120m for WR-1 to WR-1.
