Nikon ML-L3 Remote Control

Product Information

Nikon's WT wireless transmitters enable fast transmission of images – either automatically or by manual selection – direct from your camera to an FTP server or computer, and they also allow you to import IPTC photo metadata into the camera's memory before shooting, so the data is automatically attached to images as they're shot. This saves critical time for editors as well as photographers. They also enable a number of other useful functions, including camera operation from a computer via Camera Control Pro 2, and simultaneous release of multiple remote cameras from one master camera, depending on which WT transmitter you use.

Press the button on the WU-1a/WU-1b, holding it down for about 5 seconds, until the LED on the adapter flashes. Choosing the length of time the camera will remain in stand-by mode waiting for a signal from the remote control, see A> Custom Setting c5 ( Remote on duration (ML-L3); 0 Remote on Duration (ML-L3)). To set up the WT-5 wireless transmitter for image transfer, in the set-up menu, select network, then highlight choose hardware and navigate to the hardware list.

Enable the camera's built-in wi-fi. Newer models have an external wi-fi button, while on older cameras you'll need to select wi-fi in the set-up menu. Remote control is cancelled automatically if no photograph is taken before the time selected for Custom Setting c5 ( Remote on duration (ML-L3), 0 Remote on Duration (ML-L3)), Off is selected for Remote control mode (ML-L3), a two-button reset is performed ( 0 Two-Button Reset: Restoring Default Settings), or shooting options are reset using Reset photo shooting menu ( 0 Reset Photo Shooting Menu). While there are plenty of camera triggering apps out there, a good remote release is a much more reliable solution, one that isn't dependent on an unreliable smartphone battery. Different releases use different triggering methods: some are cabled physically to the camera, others are wireless infra-red, and others use more advanced wireless systems like radio frequency, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi – extra-useful as they don't require direct line of sight. For one thing, I have Foolography Unleashed, which uses a bluetooth dongle to trigger the shutter as well as send GPS data and also intervalometer functions. The wireless remote communicates with your camera via a separate hot-shoe mounted receiver unit which in turn connects via a sync cable. It’s a slightly bulky combo, but no other device like a phone or tablet is required, and the simple radio frequency connection works instantly with no prior setup.

You're now set up to transfer images to your computer wirelessly. To upload new photographs automatically as they are taken, select on for network > options > auto send in the setup menu. You can choose to send both RAW or JPEGs or send JPEG only, and you can also start and stop video wirelessly. More options can be found in the camera's options menu under network.

Select PC image transfer method, enter a profile name and press OK when done. In flash modes that support red-eye reduction, the red-eye reduction lamp will light for about one second before the shutter is released. In delayed remote mode, the self-timer lamp will light for two seconds, followed by the red-eye reduction lamp which lights for one second before the shutter is released.
