How to use IR remote control with Camera

If your camera has IR remote control reception feature built in then you can use an IR remote control to take pictures. The advantage is that you won't touch the camera and it won't vibrate. Thus it might give better oicture
First it to find out how to activate IR remote control in the camera. Typically there is a setting along with timer. In my Nikon D5300, there is a button on left hand side just below the lens release button. Pressing it few times activates remote control feature.There are two setting for remote control, one enables instant shot and other enables shoot with 2 sec delay.

Also the remote is most likely to work from in front of the camera. After activating the remote control just go in front of the camera and press the key on your remote control. That's it.

Don't forget to say cheese.
