Using Your IR-STV as a Remote Trigger

The Vello IR-STV can trigger your camera's shutter from up to fifteen feet away. To use your IR-STV as a remote trigger, turn on your camera and follow these steps:

I. Remove the plastic separator from the battery.
2. Set up your shot and make sure your camera is in focus.
3. Set your camera for remote triggering. For more information about the remote triggering feature, consult your camera's manual.
4. Aim the remote at the camera's infrared sensor and press the S button to release the shutter. To release the shutter with a two-second delay, press the 2S button.

The Vello IR-STV can trigger video shooting on compatible Sony cameras. To start shooting video, press the Video button. To stop shooting video, press the Video button again.

Important! Because infrared technology requires line-of-sight communication between the two devices, make sure there are no obstructions between the remote and your camera's sensor.

Playback, Slideshow, and Printing

You can use your Vello IR-STV remote to wirelessly control playback on your Sony camera when the camera is plugged into your TV. Most of the buttons on the IR-STV will correspond with the buttons on your Sony camera.

To begin a slideshow, press the slideshow button on the remote. Use the right or left buttons on the multi-selector to display the next or previous image, and use the ENTER button for play and pause.

To print images while viewing them on the TV, follow these steps:

I. Use an HDMI cable to connect your camera to an HDTV.
2. Plug your camera into a PictBridge-compliant printer.
3. Display the image you want to print, and then press the PRINT button on the remote control.

For more information about the playback and printing features, consult your camera's manual.
