Connecting to the Camera

Since the 1325 remote uses Bluetooth technology it will need to be paired with your camera before its first use. Be sure your camera and its current firmware version are compatible with a Canon-type BR-E1 Bluetooth remote. Start by setting your camera to pairing standby mode. Each camera does this a owe uu umelemuy so, please refer to your camera’s instructions for more specific information. Once the camera is ready, press and hold the W & T buttons (4) on 1325 remote simultaneously for 3 seconds or more. The Indicator Lamp (1) on the remote will blink and pairing with the camera will begin. Once pairing is complete, your camera should notify you with a message on its LCD (varies by camera model).

Operation for Still Photography

Once the remote and camera are paired, set your camera to remote control mode for a Bluetooth remote.

Use the Function Switch (5) on the side of the remote to choose from:

• S: Immediate Release (6)— takes a shot immediately upon pressing the shutter button
• 2S: 2-second delayed-release (7) – takes a shot with a 2-second delay after the shutter button is pressed
• REC: Video record (8) – Do not choose the REC option for still photography. It is reserved for video use.

To take a still photo press the Shutter Release Button (2). This will cause the camera to autofocus and take a picture unless the camera is set to manual focus mode, in which case it will take a picture without autofocusing. Once the camera takes the picture the red Indicator Light (1) will illuminate on the remote. To autofocus, the image without snapping a picture, press the AF Button (3) on the remote. When the focus is achieved the red Indicator Light (1) will illuminate on the remote to confirm.

Operation for Videography

Set your camera to its video recording mode and also set it to remote control mode for a Bluetooth remote.Use the Function Switch (5) on the side of the remote to choose Video Record REC (8). To START or STOP recording video while in REC mode, press the Shutter Button (2). Press it once and the recording will begin as the remote’s red Indicator Light (1) will flash 4 times to confirm. Press the Shutter Button (2) a second time and the recording is ended.

Zooming the Lens (for both still photos and video)

Use the W and T Zoom Buttons (4) on the remote to zoom the lens between its wide and telephoto ends. You must be using a power zoom lens or compatible zoom lens and power zoom adapter to achieve this. Zooming can typically be done in both still and video mode. Refer to your camera and lens manual for more specifics and to ensure proper operation.

Tips for Operation

1. Bluetooth does not require a line of sight. So, you can take photos even when there is a wall or obstacle between the remote and the camera. However, it does have a usable range of 32′ / 10M, beyond which it may not function properly.
2. Once the remote is paired with your camera it will remember the pairing and be useable anytime you set the camera to its remote mode. If you are in remote mode and it is not working properly, try re-pairing the remote.
3. The remote can only be paired with one camera at a time.
4. When its battery is replaced the remote may lose its pairing setting and need to be repaired.
5. The loop built-in to the remote is a convenient place to connect it using a carabiner or lanyard.
