Review: I initially bought this for my A5100, but just couldn't get it to autofocus so as to engage the shutter. If I held down the shutter halfway on the camera, it could complete taking the picture (with the red LED status), but holding it down halfway on the remote did not do anything on the camera. Obviously, having to do this would defeat the point of this product. Seeing as most people who use this had at least an A6000, I got one, figuring that the a5100 was not compatible. However, that didn't solve the issue. I was about to return this product and try something else when I did a last troubleshoot - mind you, I had already changed every possible setting in the cameras to try to get this to work. I will say that I feel pretty dumb now. It turns out I did not have the cable inserted all the way into the remote. It always seemed fairly securely plugged in, and I did not notice any troubleshooting advice in the manual that matched my problems, so I assumed that it must be something else. After all, I was getting -some- info to the camera. Yes, it's user error. No, they did not make it easy to figure out what it could be. The other reason I'm giving only 4 stars is that this thing eats batteries. I have only used this while troubleshooting - so not much time - and I'm already on my second AAA set. Thus I would advise carrying spares! Review: Excelente para tomar fotografías a distancia sin que otra persona las tome por usted.
