RC5 for Canon

A friend notified me about this thingy going for a song. So I grabbed a few for myself and also to give away to friends. It's a copy of the original Canon RC5 wireless remote for Canon EOS cameras. This lil fella cost me a princely some of rm10(USD3) only. Hehehe. Unbelievable eh?

It's very simple to use. Just go to the Drive mode on your EOS and select the icon with the clock and a wireless signal icon next to it. After that just select your AF point, click on the remote button and it will acquire focus lock and trigger the shutter. Take note that there's no 2 second delay like the original Canon RC5. It activates the AF and once focus lock is achieved, the AF confirmation beep comes on and it fires off a shot immediately.
