Hello again, Izzy at Digital Goja
showrooms. Today we're going to take a
look at an infrared remote control for
your Sony Alpha and mirrorless cameras.
This is a full-feature remote, it gives
you a lot of control so you don't have
to kill your battery using the Wi-Fi to
do a lot of the same features. As always,
if this video helps you please hit me up

And when in Miami come say hello at
Digital Goja showrooms.
Alright so, here we have the IR remote
for Sony cameras, it gives you a lot of
capabilities without having to murder
your battery with the Wi-Fi, but of
course it is an IR remote so it's only
line of sight but you know what that
works a lot of times for most of us.
It comes with a very popular battery and it
is provided the CR2025, this is a very
popular button cell battery very readily
available in many different outlets, whether
you're in particular in supermarkets,
drug stores or online like Amazon.
It shows you in the back over here how to
place the battery in there which is with
the positive side up and you just pull
this out...
place the battery with the positive
insignia up, which is a little plus sign and
then you gently insert it back into the
remote. Now we're going to set up the
camera, so here I have a very popular
camera, this is the a6000. Now what you
need to do is you need to set up the
camera for IR remote, there is your IR
sensor, that's what has to be viewed by
the remote so they can make the contact.
So we're going to go into our menu and
we're going to go into the tool menu,
scroll over to the third folder and down
to where it says remote control and you
want it on the ON position, default is
OFF but I was already playing around
with this so I had it on ON. Face the camera
forward and I'm going to aim the remote
control at the IR indicator and I'm
going to press a button and there it goes,
it took a picture. Now remember, as I said,
you should have the remote in front of
the camera but right now in the Digital
Goja showroom I'm working with reflectors
so the IR beam is actually bouncing. If you
have a way to set it up that way it will
work for you but theoretically you
should be in front of the camera, but I
want to show you how all these work.
Here's the single shot, here is your two
second delay, here's your menu button you can
access the menu and using the up and
down arrows you can toggle around, here's
your playback button. So with this one
you can use the playback feature and you
can scroll back and forth between your
images by using again the toggling
arrows, you can even delete and it allows
you to delete the image. So this remote
is going to allow you to do a lot more
than you usually could do with a
standard IR remote, I mean look I can
even activate the info screen and check
my exposure my histogram everything.
So, there you have it
this is a very economical way to save
your battery and to be able to control
your Sony Alpha or NEX camera with an IR remote.
Happy shooting!
