NIKON ACC REMOTE CONTROL WIRELESS ML-L3

The ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control by Nikon is a versatile tool for photographers, enabling wireless shutter release with minimal disruption to the camera. It has an approximate range of 16 feet (4.87 meters) in front of the camera, allowing for remote triggering from a distance. While it can also function from behind the camera, the range is not as extensive.

Key Features:

1. Wireless Shutter Release: The ML-L3 allows photographers to instantly trigger the shutter of compatible Nikon cameras without physically touching the camera. This is particularly useful for situations where approaching the camera is difficult or when minimizing vibration is crucial, such as for close-ups and time exposures.

2. Long Exposure Shooting: The remote control supports the bulb exposure camera setting, making it valuable for capturing long time exposures. In M mode, users can select '- -' as the shutter speed. The shutter opens when the remote-control shutter-release button is pressed (after a 2-second delay in delayed remote mode) and remains open until the button is pressed a second time. This feature is beneficial for low-light photography or when aiming for unique daylight effects. The maximum exposure time is 30 minutes.

3. Recommendations for Long Exposures: Nikon recommends using a fully-charged EN-EL3 battery or an optional EH-5 AC adapter when engaging in long exposures. This ensures a reliable power source for extended shooting sessions.

4. Flash Photography: For information on using the ML-L3 with flash, users are directed to consult the camera's user manual for specific guidance.

5. Easy Operation: The ML-L3 is straightforward to use. Depress the timer three times to get it ready, press to start the shot, step away, and return to press the button again to stop the shot.

In summary, the Nikon ML-L3 Wireless Remote Control provides a convenient and efficient means for remote shutter release, making it an excellent accessory for various photography scenarios, including long exposure shooting and situations where minimizing camera disturbance is crucial.
