Used with Sony NEX-5N - it just works! Simple to use & inexpensive!
I purchased this remote control for Sony NEX-5N camera. It is sized 3.25" long x 1.25" wide x 0.25" thick. I am attaching a photo with a pen and penny next to it for size reference. Its weight is 0.5 oz.
The remote has two options: one for instant shutter release and one for a two a two second delay. Each action corresponds to two buttons on the top labels "s" and "2s". It is brilliant in its simplicity. It comes with an instruction sheet but I did not need it.
OPERATION
1. The first time you use it you need to remove the plastic separator from the battery compartment
2. Then you need to put the camera in to remote control drive mode.
This is accomplished with two clicks. Using the round navigation wheel on the camera clicked left (it is labeled with timer icon). Then turn the wheel up one notch from single frame to remote control drive mode.
Remote control functions in Intelligent, O, A, S and M modes. Unfortunately it does not function in anti-motion blur mode which has become my favorite (this is a camera limitation, not the remote control limitation).
Other details
1. The remote operates on CR 2025 battery
2. Its range is 16 feet
3. Battery life expectancy: 2 years /10,000 exposures
4. Warranty: 1 year
5. Made in China
I highly recommend this remote control. I like its size, well labeled buttons, it is light, easy to use, inexpensive and it works!
I'm very pleased with this purchase!
