Disappointment

The LCD display is difficult to read without a backlight. The buttons are too small and deeply recessed, making them very difficult to press, although designed to be difficult to press accidentally, this is too much. That with a minimum setting of 2 minutes between time lapses is just stupid, if you want to time lapse with internal intervals less than 2 minutes it won't work. The remote knows when the camera is busy so it can record as fast as the camera stores. When the camera turns off, I can't turn it back on using the remote control, only basic camera controls. The battery installation diagram is misleading, I installed the battery upside down the first time. (+ face down right). Big R/F filter no doubt Since last year the FCC has slapped Nikon on the hand over radiation issues with other accessories (950 AC adapter). This is the only remote release available though, if at least 2 minutes is enough for you and you don't mind flashing the camera firmware (which you should use for proper use if you have version 1.0) then you're done, thoughtful . I still buy it as the remote shutter release is a must for stable operation. 0), then everything is ready, after consideration.
