Customer Review

Compatible EOS 500d, Yes Yes

Before going into more details
RC-6 is the indispensable element for a full and complete use of many Canon cameras, the radical suppression shake when triggered for photos and start video mode, especially for taking pictures or videos in Nature .Or on board a moving vehicle.

Oops early unlike the wired control RS-60E3, the use of a remote control without son requires a change in the method of acquisition, for EOS 500d see page 68 of the user manual

Using RC-6 with Canon EOS 500D

Contrary to what some say; This remote control is ABSOLUTELY CONSISTENT with canon EOS 500d.

And before claiming loudly, verify and rectify the RC-6 compatibility with EOS 500D should read the operating instructions and s' informed of new domestic transmissions technologies.

By cons ................ What is true, ..... it's! .. That it's very poorly explained in the instruction manuals ... ..... So in that of the remote control that reference to that of the camera, as in the operating instructions of the latter

There is no specific chapter on the remote control, and the Index, the letter T: Remote control the word conspicuously absent.

You must go to P (awesome) shooting with remote control which indicates 4 pages, 55, 69, 124, 194. But for starting the remote control function, ... there is no good, To turn the device into a remote control fashion must go to {acquisition mode} which is page 68 .Révolutionnaire n 'is not it .

And again. There, you have to be adept rebus, hunts with a predilection for the art of divination embellished with a touch of fakirism to find basic explanations necessary for shooting with remote control, but really basic,

With sagacity and perseverance seem to get triggered with the RC-6, then for optimal use must be trial and error.

Enabling Remote mode to: EOS 500d

Go to [acquisition mode], page 68

According to the selector position obtained by:

Automatic, green square icons + 3 icons on the screen; Video does not give the position acquisition mode

Manual mode, 5 icons on the screen as shown on page 68 except at the Ca position where there are 4.

To activate the Remote mode must be selected central icon except, Ca where it is in position 3, consisting of 2 pictograms one representing the preset timer to 10 seconds the other transmitter wave.

And confirm with OK

Pressure is controlled by a few. It works. My device is ready to work with the remote ... Eh Eh Eh, well NO.

By default, to save battery power after 30 seconds of inactivity, the device s' stop automatically.

Go to menu setting: represented by a key on brown background, when the selector is in the portrait position c 'is the 4th icon, first line (Auto Off) and increase the time, there are 7 choices, however, attention to discharge of the battery. In menus with several key, the adjustment (Auto Off) is always the first line of the first key.

A word about the scope and control of the performance

In France the law imposes stringent conditions on radio broadcasts including remote controls, and RC-6 do not escape it, they are set at the factory for ideal conditions, which in practice is rarely the case in the maximum legal scope .. But the reach of radio waves is closely linked to climatic conditions,

Solution, increase the power of the issue under adverse conditions. But now, return to normal it is beyond the permitted limits would become illegal.

Popularly infrared term is still valid for this type of product, technologically it is not the same, and infrared are replaced nowadays by microwave radio which is why the emitting diode is illuminated not (it is not a laser diode), what does the fact is illuminated not is not a malfunction sign, [for more information on this see the attending websites]

OF aillor we have to do a RC Remote Radio Control =
and no IR = Infra Red

Some have LEDs (usually red) indicating that the request is taken into account and can check the battery status. But the price is no longer the same

Using RC-6

On the back of the remote control there is a small slider with 2 markers, a big point and the number 2

FASHION PHOTOS

when the cursor is on the big point shooting is immediate.
When it's on 2 will be delayed for 2 seconds.

The disadvantages;

The Main focus should be made before, traditionally, only a light, very light adjustment is done by remote control, and yet no satisfactory ways on all selections

The delay, set factory to 2 seconds is not editable. Time which in some cases can be a can short.

VIDEO MODE

When the cursor is on the big point, live shooting
When it is about 2, pressing starts recording another stops it

The disadvantages;
No autofocus via remote control

The Advantages;
No move at the beginning and end of the recordings, practice for the realization of successive clips particular animal because the original switch is really misplaced

Disadvantages common to 2 modes
(Facing camera operator)

The masked receiver right by the objective requires the operator to offset the left do not exceed 25 ° to 30 ° depending on the distance.

Another disadvantage with EOS 500d remote control mode coupled with the preset timer to 10 seconds, in case of disuse of the remote control that is this mode is applied.
To get out you must return, acquisition mode, classic mode and reselect.
