Using the WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b with the WR‑T10: The Basics

After attaching the WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b to the camera, you are ready first to pair it with the WR‑T10 and then use the WR‑T10 to take pictures remotely.

Pairing the WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b and WR‑T10

At Shipment

The WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b and WR‑T10 are not paired at shipment.

  1. Turn on the camera to which the WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b is attached.

  2. Set the WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b and WR‑T10 to the same channel.

    Set the channel selectors on the WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b and WR‑T10 to the same channel (5, 10, or 15).

  3. Pair the devices.

    • Press the pairing buttons on the WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b and WR‑T10 simultaneously. Pairing is complete when the red and green LEDs on the WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b flash on and off in sequence.

    • When pairing devices, place them close together.

Pairing Failure

If the red and green LEDs do not flash on and off in sequence, pairing has failed. Release the pairing buttons on the WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b and WR‑T10 and repeat Step 3.

Channel Selection

  • Devices that are not on the same channel cannot be paired.

  • Changing the channel on either device once pairing is complete will interrupt the connection. The connection will resume when the devices are again set to the same channel; the pairing process need not be repeated.

Ending Pairing

Press the pairing button on the WR-R11a/WR-R11b; the green LED will start to flash rapidly (about 5 times a second). Keep the button pressed for about 3 seconds longer and the green LED will start to flicker (about 20 times a second). While the green LED is still flickering, press the pairing button on the WR-R11a/WR-R11b twice in quick succession (within about a second). The green and red LEDs will flash twice simultaneously to show that pairing has ended and all pairing data have been erased.

  • If pairing fails to end, the red LED will not light. In this case, end pairing by repeating the procedure above.

Taking Pictures

After pairing the devices, you can use the shutter-release button on the WR‑T10 to release the shutter on the camera to which the WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b is attached. The shutter-release button on the WR‑T10 performs the same functions as the camera shutter-release button whether pressed halfway or all the way down.

  1. Frame the shot on the camera to which the WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b is attached.

    Use of a tripod is recommended.

  2. Press the WR‑T10 shutter-release button halfway to focus.

  3. Press the WR‑T10 shutter-release button the rest of the way down to shoot.
