Does anyone else encountered any problems on using IR remote control on bulb mode for D7000? Actual operation should be: after 1st press = shutter opens then after 2nd press = shutter close. Mine opens and closes at one press. :(

Just tested my D7k and no problem here. From the looks of it it doesn't sound like you're setting your camera to bulb mode correctly. You'd need to set both your shooting mode to remote and your shutter to "--" while in M or S modes. Hope that helps.

guys

remember IR devices can be bounced, much like you bounce the light from your flash.

as an example, try bouncing your tv remote off a framed with glass picture or mirror behind you, or just bounce it off the wall or ceiling.

the same can be achieved with small mirrors set off to the side if you want to use your remote from behind the camera, or off to the side, angled mirrow on he floor out of range of the lens.

your imagination is the limit, around corners, etc.

this will allow you to expand the range and use of your remote.

Thanks for the information.

tcole, you have a D5000 right? I don't think those have a second IR receiver, so you'd be right, you'd only be able to activate it from the front unless you find a way to bounce it.

JohnnyApple, other than the D7000, I don't think any bodies lower than the D7000 has a second IR receiver, and all of the higher end bodies don't use this remote.

Yeah I looked at the pictures on the Nikon site and could see the difference. The D5000 doesn't have the extra infrared sensor. I could see it on the D7000...that would be helpful :)

You're right, NSX. For some reason I thought the D90 and the D5000 had it.

One quick question, on ebay there are loads of non-nikon remotes for D7000, I'm about to buy ML-L3 as they are $5-7 extra.

Any experiences with non nikon remotes? Thanks.

Why would you buy knock-offs on ebay when you can buy them original for $5 more? Seriously, I don't think it's worth the hassle.

I got one to use then included it with my D90 when I sold that. My dad has the Nikon-branded one and I couldn't tell any difference. I think it cost me $4 shipped. It was Yong nuo or some similar-sounding brand and I can't remember if it was on ebay or amazon.
