Remember to keep the transmitter in line with the receiver (the receiver will swivel on its mount, which helps) and to keep the receiver’s reception sensor away from the sun.With the ML-3 your options include single shot (denoted S) and continuous (C) shooting. Firstly, mount the receiver on the camera’s accessory shoe, then insert the end of the cable into the camera’s 10-pin terminal (if you’re using a Speedlight on the camera, attach the receiver with the supplied bracket instead). Remember that because the ML-元 uses an infrared beam to make it fire, you need to keep it in line of sight of the camera.The ML-3 is designed for cameras with a 10-pin terminal – these are mainly higher-end DSLRs, including the D810. Select the remote control mode in the shooting menu, then choose an option, including quick-response remote (where the shutter is released immediately the ML-元 button is pressed), and delayed response (where the shutter fires 2 seconds after pressing the ML-元 button).

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. 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. Alternatively, to send images from the camera to a computer or FTP server, you can use the Nikon WT-4, WT-5, WT-6 or WT-7 wireless transmitters, depending on camera compatibility – the new D5, for example, uses the WT-5 and WT-6 models, while the D500 uses the WT-7. Your Nikon camera may come with wi-fi built-in, or you could create wi-fi via Nikon’s WU-1a or WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adapter and your smartphone or tablet. 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. Because these systems use radio frequencies instead of infrared, you aren’t limited to line-of-sight operation. Alternatively, you could use multiple WR-1 remote controllers, which are both transmitter and transceiver in one. 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. Via radio signal with the Nikon Wireless Remote Controller Set and WR-1 remote controller.The range on the ML-元 is around 5m from remote to camera, while the ML-3’s range is roughly 8m. If you’re shooting a subject in direct line of sight, you can use either the ML-元 or ML-3 remotes (depending on your camera), which use a beam of infrared light to trigger the camera. Via infrared signals with the Nikon ML-3 or ML-元 remote controls.
