EOS SL3 and BR-E1 Remote Problem

Well its Christmas and I am sure lots of folks are "debugging" new toys for loved ones!  

 

I purchased my wife a Canon BR-E1 remote for use with her EOS Rebel SL3.  Should be simple, huh.  Pairing was executed but then I was supposed to set the Drive mode to Remote.  Remote is not an option. Anyone using a BR-E1 with the SL3?  Any info would be appreciated.

If you haven't already done so, download a copy of the Advanced Users Manual and check out page 112.

Looks like it's a matter of pressing the "Q" button, select the Single/self timer menu, then select the Self timer/Remote control mode. More details on page 463.

Thank you so much!  I went right by that  /remote title under self timer:10sec/remote.  I was thinking there would be a 

more remote only setting! 

 

We are all in the photos now!   Have a Merry Christmas and Thanks again! 

 

You're welcome. Glad I could get you pointed in the right direction.

 

That setting does seem to be slightly hidden in the menus, but in a way it makes sense that it's included in with the delay timer settings. I seem to recall it's located similarly on my 60D and I imagine on most, if not all, other Canon DSLRs.
