EOS Rebel T7i w/ Remote (delay shoot)

Alexander88 — Tue, 13 Dec 2022 13:16:06 GMT

Hi, I'm trying to use an amazon basics remote control with my eos rebel T7i. In order to get it working I had to turn off the bluetooth then switching shooting mode to 10sec delay/remote. However there is a delay with every shot but I dont want any delay at all.

Does anyone know how to do this on this camera?

Thanks,

Alex

I looked at the PDF manual. It says shutter release or time delay mode. Are you sure you need to select the 10 second delay? Try selecting single shot.

I did but the only shutter release mode that is working with the remote is the 10 second delay, but it does something like a 3-4 second delay

Greetings,

The Amazon Basic remote does not support immediate shutter release like the Canon Remote. You have to select single shot like John mentions and then 2 or 10 sec timer. Compose your shot and press the button. The shutter will release at the specified interval. It is not immediate.

I looked at the PDF manual. Try selecting the 2 second option.

Edit - missed Ricks response.

I'll return this remote and get a canon remote. I see there is 2 different ones...

BR-E1 and RC-6.

Do they both do instant shots with no delay?

Greetings,

Both are capable of Instant or delay shooting. The BR-E1 can do AF (just like half-pressing) the shutter button. For the "W" and "T" Zoom functions, you have to have a zoom accessory. The RC-6 will do what you want, but you still have to compose the shot, hence why it is only half the price.

I’m confused with the RC-3 operation. I cant get the JJC MODEL RC-3

and when I try I get the the JJC to link, I get a statement that says none of the T models are able to be used.

It doesn’t link to the camera. The remote links to the module that installs on the flash shoe which connects to the camera vis a cable plugged into the remote connection port.
