2) How do you convert the lens mm value (eg 135mm) to how many times zoom?
Hi everyone,
1) From the Nikon pricelist, I see that the cable release is about $36 while the wireless one is $16. How come wire more expensive?
2) How do you convert the lens mm value (eg 135mm) to how many times zoom?
Thanks.
thanks for the replies.
I was looking at:
Remote - Nikon MC-DC1 Remote Release Cord - $35
and
Remote - Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control - $16
As for the lenses, would objects viewed using a 55-200mm at the lowest mm look closer then, as compared to 12-24mm using the lowest mm?
not a nikon user, but i kinda know that...
the wireless remote here can only allow u to do timer or single shot, u can't do bulb mode with it, esp u can't do fireworks with it unless you set shutter like 10sec. It have a lag too iirc.
Set camera shutter speed to 'BULB', set camera to remote mode, press once to open shutter, wait as you like, press once again to close shutter.not a nikon user, but i kinda know that...

the wired one allows u to do bulb, and also focusing. 1/2 press focus, full press shutter, and also a lock for long exposure bulb.

I know because I have Nikon D70s .

okie, stand corrected... so wats the advantage of the wired then? hmm...
anyway, just asking, can the wireless do focusing?
yes it can. It will AF then take the picture. there's no "half-press" though.
IIRC the wired remote can do timer. So instead of counting 60 seconds, it can be programmed to wired remote to open shutter for 60 seconds.okie, so the only advantage of the wired is this... cos that way, i'd rather do MF than to rely on the blind AF.
I know (hopefully I am right :sweat: ) Canon IR remote have separate focus and release buttons. But is that really useful? Like you say blind focussing?okie, so the only advantage of the wired is this... cos that way, i'd rather do MF than to rely on the blind AF.
Another advantages of wired remote: say 20 peoples using all nikon and all using IR remote to take fireworks. You can imagine if they are stand close together, one person press IR remote button and the other yell "****........", the other "@$#*!!$!..." :bsmilie: .

omg, tts really funny. haha. =)
Thinking in another manner is that you can sit down and let people "take pictures for you"....

I think with autofocus, before I use the remote, if I half-press and gain focus, it will not do another refocus again when I then press the button on the remote.
