 Works as indicated on Pentax S-40 |
| Review Date: June 25, 2004 |
| Reviewer: J. Norvell, Davis, CA United States |
| I have a Pentax S-40 digital camera and this works as it should. All it has on it is a button. You aim it at the camera, from within 15 feet, and it triggers the shutter response that is set in the camera - immediate release or three-second release, for example. Note that the battery is not user-changeable. However, Pentax claims it can be operated for over 20,000 times before you send it in to Pentax for a new battery for some unknown charge. I doubt I will ever need to do that. |
Pentax IR remote Control
|
| Review Date: April 2, 2007 |
| Reviewer: G. Chinn, Phoenix, Arizona |
| Nice and small remote control for Pentax digital cameras, it seems to work with any Pentax Digital Camera. It works with both of my SLR's and my Point and shoot. More than I expected. Extremely small stores in the aux base for my K10D. No batteries to replace. |
Battery User Changable - Pentax Remote Control F.
|
| Review Date: April 21, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Moose, Chicago Suburbs, IL |
I purchased the remote today at a Going Out of Business Sale at Ritz Camera in Chciagoland. It was $18.00 I'm using it for the K20D Body.
The remote can be taken apart to change the battery. Three screws need to be removed. The battery is a small round flat Panasonic CR 1620 3V. See Photo's I've included above.
The remote works as advertised. On the K20D You need to set the "Yes" setting in the Custom Menu in order for the Auto Focus to work when using the remote.
You also have to set which type of Shutter release you want to have fire. Press the fn button then press the 4 way controller button (arrow up) to get to the remote settings. You can choose single-immediate fire, Fire after a 3 second delay or Continuous Firing. On the continuous firing the camera will keep taking pictures until you press the remote button a second time to stop the camera from firing.
While you have the remote control feature selected the Self Timer Lamp / Remote Control Reciever Lamp on the front & rear of the camera body will blink (RED) on and off to let you know the remote feature in ON.
NO instructions are included with the remote control F, only a a warning sheet that the remote may interfere with TV/Radio reception. For instructions see your camera manual....

| Reviewer: Mack Mccurry, Kenton, Ohio United States |
| I bought this for a Pentax K10D camera and it works just like it said it would in the add. good range from the front or back of the camera.Its nice to be able to take a picture without having to have a cord hooked to the camera I also have the wired remote witch you have to be right at the camera to use.the only thing about it is you have to take the remote apart to change the battery (no door). I would say if you have a pentax K10D or the K100D buy this remote you will not be sorry.Also if you have the K10D get the battery box that fits on the bottom of the camera it holds a spair battery -Extra sd card and the remote. Amazon has all of them at a good price.Pentax Remote Control F for Pentax Digital Cameras |
The Handheld LifeSaver
|
| Review Date: October 31, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Christina Jones, Jersey City, NJ |
The Pentax Remote Control F for Pentax Digital Cameras is a hand held life saver for a photographer. This remote works great with my Pentax K10D Digital Camera.
It's small and your can conceal it in the palm of your hand. Beware, you can lose it if you forget about it. It works straight out the box and helps stablize your shots (when used with a tripod) in low light and night situations.
It gives me the confidence to walk away and be able to time my shot, adjust lighting and props before triggering the shutter. I love using this device wth the Bulb mode on my Pentax.
It is great for self portraits and group shots. I have used it several times since my purchase and am very pleased. My husband also used this remote and found it easy to use. |

| This IR remote works as documented. The range in the documentation is accurate, and sometimes it will work past the documented range. This has been a nice addition to my gear since I now can be in family photos as well. It's very small (about the size of a pack of gum), so if you are prone to losing things you might want to figure out a way to keep track of it. |
Works great with Pentax Optio A20

I really wanted a camera that had the remote control functionality.
It gets boring if when traveling alone all your pictures are of empty landscapes or buildings and one can't even take even a couple of pics of oneself in front of the lens... and the self timer is a hassle. Or when traveling with a friend and you can't take good pictures of you and your friend together. And forget about asking someone passing by: the few times i've bothered they rarely manage to take a good picture.
I searched far and wide for a pocket camera that has as an accessory a remote control. And finally discovered the Pentax range of cameras. I'm a loyal fan of Canon, but few of their cameras do have remote control functionality (e.g. SLR Digital Rebel), but i was looking for a pocket camera.
So i decided to purchase the Pentax Optio A10 - because of the remote control. But I'm very happy with my purchase. The quality of the pictures is very good.
Note: the best way to check if any given camera has the remote control option is to go to the manufacturer's website, and download their electronic pdf manual. E.g. go to the Pentax website, select the model, and select download manual. For older models not listed, try the search text box.

Excellent but small

This works well with my new K-X, but I am afraid of losing it.
Hopefully the solution comes in the form of a little case for
flash drives. This holds two small flashdrives. The Pentax
Control F fits well on one side and a flashdrive with a pdf
file of my camera manual on the other side. The outside of
this little case has a ring for a lanyard.
This little remote is fun to use I just hope I don't lose it. |
Very handy

| This remote is great to have with you, especially for night shots where camera shake would be a problem or if you are needing to be in a picture that you are taking. The range seems to be about 15-20 feet. Don't let the product picture deceive you though, this remote is actually about 2 inches long, which is pretty tiny. But overall, I've been pleased with how it has performed so far. |

This Canon is the best digital camera I’ve ever owned! I’ve been waiting for a digital camera that shoots great HD H.264 video and this one does the trick. It’s overall still quality is that of a good consumer digital camera so you’ll see artifacts when zooming in closely. Night shots are good for consumer cameras but not excellent. One issue I’ve discovered on my Canon SD780is is that there are strange vertical lines sometimes in video mode if the camera is in direct sunlight. However, I can’t lower the rating level since everything else is so excellent at a $200 price level!
