EOS Rebel T7i w/ Remote (delay shoot)

[Alexander88]

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

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

Edit - missed Ricks response.

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'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.
