Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / August 2005Digital Rebel XT and remote switch
Interested in playing with the bulb function on the XT. The manual recommends the RS-60E3 but says that the RC-1 and RC-5 will work. Any recommendations or +/- with any of these switches? thanks > Interested in playing with the bulb function on the XT. The manual > recommends the RS-60E3 but says that the RC-1 and RC-5 will work. Any > recommendations or +/- with any of these switches? I have the Rebel XT and RC-1 and it works well for me. Cheap and simple. Bulb works fine. I'm not so sure about mirror lockup, though. Greg If you will be standing behind the camera, you'll need the RS-60E3. Otherwise, if you're going to be in front of the camera, and a few feet away, you'll need the RC-1 or RC-5. > Interested in playing with the bulb function on the XT.

I haven't yet needed to be in a spot where the RC-1 wouldn't work. Standing to the side of camera within a couple of feet works fine for me.

A piece of aluminum foil taped over the sensor will do just fine as a reflector, to allow the RC controls to be used from behind. > Interested in playing with the bulb function on the XT.

Send me an email and I will send the link when I put it up. Or you can let me know if you want to buy it now.

A friend got one of the remotes for his 300D (you have to stand in front of the camera) but he says all it does it start the 10-second timer, it doesn't work as a shutter release. Is he doing something wrong? > > Interested in playing with the bulb function on the XT. The manual > > recommends the RS-60E3 but says that the RC-1 and RC-5 will work.

He may not being doing anything wrong but there is something wrong there. With the RC-1 there is a switch spot for 2 sec delay, and one for immediate shutter release. The setting for remote control on a Rebel or Rebel XT is shared with the 10 sec timer but 0 delay or 2 sec delay of the remote normally overrides the 10 sec timer on the camera. Greg |
