How to shoot with a remote switch on the EOS 5D Mark II.

Solution

Remote Switch and Remote Controller

You can connect the Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 ( sold separately) or any EOS accessory equipped with an N3-type terminal to the camera and shoot with it.

Note:

To operate the accessory, refer to its instruction manual.
Connecting the Remote Switch

1. Open the terminal cover.

2. Connect the plug to the remote control terminal.

Reference:

To disconnect the plug, grasp the plug's silver part and pull out.

Remote Control Shooting

With Remote Controller RC-1 or RC-5 ( sold separately), you can shoot remotely up to about 5 meters/16.4 feet from the camera. RC-1 enables you to shoot immediately or have a 2-sec. delay, and RC-5 has a 2-sec. delay.

1. Set the power switch to <ON>.

2. Focus the subject.

3. Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF>. You can also shoot with <AF>.

4. Press the <AF/DRIVE> button. Select the self-timer. Look at the LCD panel and turn the <Quick Control Dial> to select <> (10-sec. delay) or <> (2-sec. delay).

5. Point the remote controller toward the camera's remote control sensor and press the transmit button. The self-timer lamp lights and the picture is taken.

Attention:

Camera misoperation may occur near certain types of fluorescent lights. During wireless remote control, try to keep the camera away from fluorescent light.
