The remote control works but I am skeptical as well as other clients. The included battery is a CR2025 and CR2032 not, as stated in the manual. The cover was torn almost immediately, the cover being of poor quality scratch side, sewing has not maintained. The slots are finer than the Canon strap, if I dared to slip the strap, I think that would definitely cover the soul. It seems rather strange that Canon produces a cover of such poor quality, not to mention a very ugly finish.
