Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / August 2005Minolta IR-1 question
The receiver for the Minolta IR-1 remote set has what appears to be a battery test button. It is marked B.C. Is that what it is, and what is it supposed to do? The set works perfectly on all three channels, but I'm unsure about that button. Anyone know? ken >The receiver for the Minolta IR-1 remote set has what appears to be a >battery test button.

A light should light up when working properly. -- Colyn Goodson http://www.colyngoodson.com > >The receiver for the Minolta IR-1 remote set has what appears to be a > >battery test button.

The button is so tiny that a finger would have to cover it completely to depress it. ken ken >Thanks, Colyn, but where would that light be?

If the pilot light takes more than 5 seconds to light replace the batteries. Reciever:Make sure the mode selector switch is set to "c" or "s" then press the battery check button. The operation indicator light should light up. This is the red light that lights when you activate the transmittor. -- Colyn Goodson http://www.colyngoodson.com You have to check the battery on both the transmittor and reciever. > Transmitor: Turn on power.

What I had not done is to turn the mode selector switch is "c" or "s" before pushing the button. It all works perfectly. The whole set was marked demo and came from Cameta Camera on eBay. Looks like brand new. All cables, cases, brackets included. Everything but a user manual. Not a bad deal for $60-something bucks. Gonna be some fun set up near a bird feeder or nest. Again, I appreciate your help. Anyone else use one of these wireless remotes and have any suggestions for subject to shoot?

I use the IR-1 on my XD-11 for doing hummingbird shots. -- Colyn Goodson http://www.colyngoodson.com |
