The RC-4 allows the selection of either a 2-second shutter delay or instant shutter release. The RC-4 is completely dedicated to the Canon EOS Digital Rebel, XT, XTi, XSi, Elan 7ne, 7n, 7e, T2, K2, 300D, 350D, 400D, 450D, 500D, 7D, & 5D Mark II Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Great simple remote shutter release for 5D Mark II The product was delivered quickly and it works perfectly with my Canon 5D Mark II. This is a very simple, cost effictive, wireless (infrared) remote shutter release. Like a cable release, but better because it is not physically connected to the camera and therefore can't cause it to move at all. This is not as sophisticated as some of the RF remotes, but it is simple and very thin, and inexpensive, and does not require anything to be fitted to the camera. Canon's equivalent infrared remote works equally well, but costs twice as much and is much buliker and less comfortable in the pocket. Rating: - Opteka RC-4 Wireless Remote Control for Canon XSi I bought this Opteka RC-4 Wireless Remote Control for Canon XSi because I had lost my Canon RC-1 remote and it works just as good. I especially liked that it is half the price of the Canon RC-1. Rating: - Thanks to your reviewers I just received my remote yesterday, and couldn't figure out how to use it. I'm an extreme novice with my new T1i(my first SLR), and the instructions that came with the remote were next to useless. Thanks to you reviewers, especially A. Beckett (I copied / printed your instructions to keep), - it seems to be a relatively simple process to set it up. It will also eliminate my "camera shake". I bought this remote because of the low cost - these camera accessories can really add up fast. Thankfully, I got a good price on my camera! Rating: - Works with T1i, but.... Short, sweet and to the point... The RC-4 works fine with the Canon T1i, no complaints there. However the instructions that came with the remote are useless. Sorry, but it is the manufacturer's responsibility to provide accurate instructions for the products they claim to support. At any rate if it weren't for kind reviewers like Bojan Tunguz below who posted an update on how to make the RC-4 work with this family of cameras, I probably would have tossed this unit in the spare parts bin. That's why three stars. Incidentally the T1i programs exactly the same as the XSi in regard to the remote. Please see Bojan's post below for further directions. Thank you! Rating: - Works great Opened it up - pointed it at the camera and voila. This remote is very easy to use and I find it quite handy and functional. see more
