wireless remote


genuine pentax offering is way too exp..
just get this 1.. cheap and works like a charm

an you can even disturb Canikon user by clicking on the various button for canikon.......
 

Can I ask a newbie Q about the remote?


Does it auto focus the same as using the shutter button on the camera?

ie half press remote shutter button to focus, then can wait for a while, then fully press down to take the photo?

Or you just press the shutter button on the remote, then it will focus and take the pic all on one go?

folks

as far as i know, the infrared remote require a line of sight to the infrared receiver in the camera? in the k-x, the infrared receiver is in the front, next to the lens

so if you have to click using this, does this mean you have to stand in front of the camera at an angle, rather than behind? what's the experience of the users?

just like ur remote control for TV, u have to point at it... behind can, provide got something in front to reflect it back to the receiver sensor...

I have this one but it doesn't do AF, it snap like MF.
Wondering if other brand works with AF?
 

@cleonbus - care to post some more details?

i prefer cable release, but since k-x has no support for that, must go for wireless infrared ...

i almost went to artworkfoto today to buy the one kengoh mentioned... :)
 

Bought mine from Orient Photo on 6th floor of Sim Lim Square. Just $15. The Pentax one is $48

It does AF leh.. But you need to go to your Pentax DSLR Menu to set. Should be under this
"AF with remote control 1: On or 2: Off ".
 

I bought one from ebay...cannot remember the price but much less then $10 including postage. I have the original pentax and it seems to have a longer range then it. It only has one button and it AF as well.

I think needs to set in the menu as mentioned by Ranchy.
