Nikon D800 Remote Release

The regular MC-30 remote release should work.

The camera takes two images for one shutter button press.

I can't set up my D800E to test it because I have NEF configurated and HDR won't work with NEF.
I don't want to go through the hassle of reconfiguring the camera.

I checked the owner's manual (page 390) re the MC30, and found no restrictions on its use or operation.

MC30 $40 to $50 at KEH: http://www.keh.com/search?store=cam...de=Class&grade=Grade&sprice=0&eprice=0&r=SE&e

From mbroomfield (Mike) I learned that Live View also works with c3 Self-timer >> Number of shots.
Which means that you also have this self-timer automatised HDR possibility without any need of a remote at all:


MENU button >> CUSTOM SETTING MENU >> e5 Auto bracketing set >> e.g. AE & flash >> OK
BKT button and rotate the main (back) command dial >> choose the number of shots >> e.g. "3F" (= three EVs centered around the correct balanced exposure)
BKT button and rotate the sub-command (front) dial >> choose the exposure increment >> e.g. 1.0 EV

Release Mode dial on Self-timer
MENU button >> CUSTOM SETTING MENU >> c3 Self-timer delay e.g. 2s >> OK >> Number of shots e.g. 3 >> OK >> Interval between shots e.g. 0,5s >> OK

Live View capture (focus and shutter release)


The trick is that by combining Live View with c3 Self-timer >> Number of shots the mirror stays up during the entire sequence and you avoid mirror slap.
