    I had the same issue with the app. My concern with the remote is distance. I am attempting to turn the record button on and off on the camera with the remote from a distance of about 20' from a stage. I saw that it only reaches 16'? Also, should a lamp light up on the front of the camera to indicate that it is recording because mine does not come on . Thank you. canon eos R50.

      You absolutely can (at least I can with my EOS R). I set it to Bulb Mode and the desired exposure time, and I make sure that my Drive Mode is set to 10 sec/remote or 2 sec/remote and it works no problem.

    Been using the wired remote on R5 to avoid camera shake using a telephoto lens, as well. I have it taped to the wand on my fluid head. Otherwise can be a pain in the ass to pan and touch shutter button with right hand, while trying not to shake the whole setup. Never even thought about the blue tooth. For $43 I picked one up (yes used affiliate link - every “little bit” helps right LOL?). I immediately thought about losing it - but not much to lose. Thanks for this helpful video. I liked it so much I won’t even editorialize on the Star Wars toys . . . .sorry, “action figures.”

      I know, it's funny how sometimes these tools that when we're shown them seem like the obvious choice yet we still sometimes miss them. Luckily TH-cam can help with that, and I'm glad you were able to snag one. Thanks so much for using the affiliate link - every bit helps to keep revenue up so I can focus more and more of my time on making vids like this one. And I appreciate the restraint with my Star Wars action figures! 🤣

    I bought the BR-E1 Remote with my brand new EOS R6 because I thought that my old RC-1 remote (I used with my old EOS 700D) will not work anymore… but in fact the RC-1 works very well with the R6! So I still use the RC-1 and then I can keep the Bluetooth off on the R6, I guess it can save some battery time. I use the remote for photo/ vidéo shooting in studio or for long exposure photography, very useful & !

    I would like to purchase the BR-E1 to use while doing landscape photography. I am understanding from a few sources that the BR-E1 focuses each time that you press the BR-E1 shutter button. Is there anyway that you can just have it to fire the shutter without refocusing when you have already focused in-camera without having to switch the auto focus on and off each time? Perhaps I am not understanding something, but this would be a big reason to keep me from purchasing the BR-E1.

    • @matthewTobrien
      @matthewTobrien  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are understanding it correctly, I believe. If your camera and lens are set to auto-focus, depressing the shutter button on the remote will trigger the camera to auto-focus again and, once auto-focus is achieved, the picture will be taken.
      You can also shoot in manual focus and depressing the shutter on the remote will take a picture with no impact on your focus.
      I use manual focus for almost all of my photography where I am using the remote.
      Here’s a link to the manual that may help:

I have a question here if you don’t mind, I found my old camera have self timer with multiple shots at time, on my r6 it only gives option for 10s and 2s, both of them are only shot for 1 photo, is there anyway can help this better? I think there is one feature which allows to set up time and photo taken amounts, the pain on there is every time it finished it will turn off the feature automatically, then I have to run back to camera to turn it on again 😂 tia

      This is why I got this bluetooth remote. I can use it to take as many photos as I want without having to go back to the camera for any reason. I can fire off a bunch of photos rapidly like I can in rapid shooting mode when I'm holding the camera, but this remote solves all of those 2second and 10 second timer problems.

But the rapid shooting mode when you're holding the camera - where you can press and hold the shutter button to fire off a ton of shots really quickly - you *_cannot_* do that using the Bluetooth Remote. So pretty poor wording by me in that comment. 🤦🏻‍♂
