The remote control is delivered without instructions. For support, the packaging mentions a website that does not exist. The function of the buttons is relatively clear: the "S" button allows the immediate shutter release while the "2S" button introduces a 2 second delay. Compared to original Remote Commander Sony, this device is smaller, thus easier to carry in a pocket. It is also cheaper. By cons, it does not control the video, or viewing the shots on TV. Warning: - First remove the plastic tab insulator stack - Then set the camera (in this case, a NEX 7) in the "Camera" menu: select "Drive Mode" and "Remote Commander" - Direct the beam to the IR sensor of the camera in the upper left facing the target; in some cases, the sensor will receive the same IR signal if issued in another direction, if this is reflected by a wall or other object.
