Canon LC 5 - camera remote control

For photographers who do not want to bump the bee's knees, spook the subject, or receive a stinging rebuke (or worse), Canon's infrared Wireless Controller LC-5 can make compelling close-ups a snap, even from more than one football field away.Working in Macro mode can demand a level of precision and steadiness that goes beyond the tolerances of typical picture taking. Mounting the camera on a sturdy tripod and controlling the camera functions with a remote switch are long-standing methods of minimizing camera shake and vibration. Now, thanks to Canon's new Wireless Controller LC-5, photographers can easily create compelling close-ups from a safe and secure "line-of-sight" distance of up to 330 feet. Far more than a wireless shutter release, this newly enhanced infrared remote provides photographers with the flexibility to control essential camera functions without intruding on the scene. more

Why not integral?

This is one of those things that has always frustrated me about higher end cameras, leaving off the features that are standard equipment for ordinary cameras. I've looked at this, but decided against buying it for two reasons.One is that I already own a tethered remote - the only choice at the...

An organized user's manual would be helpful

The controller is an elegant piece of gear, even for an rookie like myself. However, the manual is another story. In the English section, after page 4, it switches to Spanish. Then, in the Nederlands section, the preliminary english pages repeat, followed by the rest of the english pages, then...
