Conclusion: Pentax remote review


Review: This product arrived in good condition and on time. The only thing that I would say about this is that you need to be in front of the camera for it to register. I would like it to work from a longer distance and angle.

Conclusion: Works! (with my Optio A20)


Review: I won't give it 5 stars because it's just a remote. It does work exactly as it should and it's a must have for taking your own pictures when out on vacation.

I use it in conjunction with a gorillapod (awesome tripod): http://www.amazon.com/Joby-GP2-00EN-Gorillapod-Flexible-Digital/dp/B000HAVVFG/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1206992495&sr=8-3

I never need to ask someone to take our pictures for us - set up the gorillapod virtually anywhere & on anyTHING, use the remote to snap a picture.

One note on the Optio A20 - You have to enable the remote functionality on the camera itself by pressing UP on the directional arrows and then choosing either "Drive Mode Remote Control" (3 second delayed timer or "Drive Mode 0 Second Remote Control"

Conclusion: Remote works perfectly w/ Pentax K10D


Review: This works perfectly w/ my Pentax K10D. If you are looking to take extended release shots or anything from a tripod you will need this.

Conclusion: Compatible with the Pentax K10D DSLR


Review: The Wireless Remote Control E will also work just fine with the K10D, and likely other similar Pentax DSLR's as well. Of course, the smaller button for zooming (a feature limited mainly to P&S cameras with built-in lenses and electronic zooming) has no effect on the K10D, but the primary shutter release button works exactly the same as that on the Pentax Remote Control F. The two remotes are the same size and either will fit into the (BG2) battery grip for the K10D. They're also cosmetically identical except for the smaller zoom button.

Conclusion: Very useful accessory


Review: This remote should work with most remote-capable Pentax cameras. This is the "E" remote, which has two buttons, shutter release and zoom. Pentax also makes an "F" remote which is compatible with the "E", but lacks the zoom button. Check the documentation for your camera to see which version is best for you.

The product description gives an incorrect size for this remote. It is not 2.7" x 1" x 0.7". The correct dimensions are 2.0" x 0.9" x 0.2" and it only weighs 0.2 ounces.

This remote has many uses, not just for taking group or self portraits. It is also useful for nighttime photography with slow shutter speeds or for macro photography, so that you don't accidentally bump the camera while pressing the shutter release.

On some digital cameras, this remote can also function as a slide-show remote when the camera is connected to a television. In this case, the shutter release button displays the next picture and the zoom button displays the previous.
