    Does there need to be film in the camera for it to work? I’m using a canon eos 1n

      I've never used an EOS-1N, but my A1 can't sense the presence of film and will work quite happily without film.

    Hey! May be a bit off topic but I'm wondering if you know weather there is a wireless remote for the Canon EOS-1n?

      It's not a camera I'm familiar with, but the following link might help:

    Hey Phil. Should I just be able to screw in the Canon 60 T3 and take a picture or do I have to something in the settings in the camera? I just bought the 60 T3 but im unable to take any pictures...

      I'm not at home at the moment to check it, but I think you should just be able to plug it in and use it. I will have a look when I get back. If there's something I have forgotten that will prevent it working I will post another message.

      Hi, I'm home now. My first reaction was that you just screw it in and go, but I haven't used it for a long time and wanted to check first. I wasn't sure if there was a battery inside - I've never replaced one. I just opened it up and there is no battery, but you can get access to the innards. Perhaps you have a problem with your remote switch or with the socket on the T90? You don't need to change any settings on the camera to use the 60 T3. In your position I would probably try checking the remote switch with a multimeter for resistance. I can't tell you which contacts to test, but by trial and error you should be able to see something on the meter when probing different contacts and pressing the switch on the 60 T3. Depending on your experience, you may want to get someone else to take a look. It's all fairly basic and should be fixable. From what you have said this doesn't sound like a user error, it sounds like there is a mechanical/electrical problem somewhere. If you screw it in and everything is good it should work. Good luck! Sorry I can't help more.

    do they have this in a wireless version?

    • @PhilUKNet

      For the A1 there was a device called the LC-1 Wireless Controller and for the T90 a similar device called the LC-2. Each device consists of a receiver and a transmitter - the receiver sits on the camera hotshoe. Range is about 60m line-of-sight with no obstacles in the way. With the A1 you will also need a power winder, of course. The LC-2 also had an auto-sensing mode. If you set up the transmitter and receiver so that they were facing each other a beam of light would connect the two and whenever this beam of light was broken the camera would fire. For example, you could set it up on a forest path and any time an animal walked past and broke the beam the camera would release the shutter. When I left the UK in 2003 I left my film gear behind, including an LC-1. I never owned an LC-2. These devices were always fairly rare, but you may be able to pick one up on eBay.
