Nikon ML-L3 Remote Control

Product Information

To create an FTP profile, select the connection wizard, select FTP upload, and enter the name you choose for this network profile. Unfortunately, that dongle port is useful for other things so to occupy it with a wireless remote dongle or a wired shutter trigger dongle is a waste. 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.) Camera remotes have all sorts of use cases. Physically pressing the shutter button can cause tiny vibrations in the body, which can compromise an image in situations where focusing is extremely precise, such as macro photography, or in situations where an image can be affected by motion blur, like long exposures. Being able to trigger a camera remotely also lets you move away if you want to avoid casting a shadow, or helps you keep a distance from skittish wildlife. NB If the flash on your camera can pop up automatically, remember to disable this when you attach the WR-1.

ML-L3 Remote Control Using an Optional ML-L3 Remote Control

This type of connection allows you to upload existing photos and movies to a computer set up as a FTP server. You can also use it to control the camera using Nikon's Camera Control Pro 2 software. 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. Cameras with a 10-pin connector can be set up to be a 'master' camera, so when you press the shutter button on that camera body, the remote cameras paired to it will all fire simultaneously (up to around 50m away). 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.

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. 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. Finally, connect the camera to the computer via USB. The camera will prompt you to start the wireless transmitter utility on your computer: do so. When complete, remove the USB cable.

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. I just did that, but I saw nothing. I guess I'll just take them to BH Photo and test a different remote/camera combination there. I hope it's the remore (as it seems from your suggested test).To synchronise the shutters of one or more remote cameras with the shutter on a master camera, attach the WR-1 to the master camera. In master mode, a WR-1 can control up to 20 other cameras, each with WR-1 units attached, or 64 cameras each with an WR-R10 attached. NB As before, the master camera must have a 10-pin connection. Then pair all WR-1 units to the same channel and/or group (as above) and set the transmitter to sync mode by selecting sync on the multi selector and pressing OK. Now the shutters on all cameras will be released simultaneously.

Nikon ML-L3 Review: Wireless Remote Shutter Control

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. The Nikon ML-L3 features a one button simple design. It uses Infrared (IR) to transmit to the camera for the desired shutter release. Now, placing the units close together, highlight execute on both menus and press OK. The pairing complete message will be in the display and the LED will flash red and green alternately to let you know the units are paired. The real Nikon one is faultless, still on original battery after over 20 years (bought with my D70 in 2004).

THE FIX.... I folded the aluminum foil I used for testing and placed it in the indention as shown in figure 5.

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. To prevent light entering via the viewfinder from appearing in photographs or interfering with exposure, remove the rubber eyecup and cover the viewfinder with the supplied eyepiece cap ( 0 Cover the Viewfinder).Wireless remotes are now very affordable and give greater range, buta wired remote will give an uninterruptible connection. Pictures taken with an optional ML-L3 remote control are shot in single-frame advance mode, regardless of the option selected with the release mode dial. This tiny Nikon Infrared Remote Control lets you control the shutter release of specific Nikon DSLR models from a distance. It is ideal for creating self-portraits and for wildlife photography, and can help prevent camera shake during remote shutter release. Use with the Nikon D40/D40X, D60, D70/ D70s, D80, D90, D5000, D5200, D3000, D3200, D3300, D5300, D7100,D600 andD610digital SLR cameras, Nikon Coolpix P7100, P7700 and P7800digital cameras and the Nikon 1 J1, J2, V1, V2 and V3.
