Ge Universal Remote Not Operating Menu Button

What an amazing equipment. It’s so well build and the whole experience navigating through the menu and operating is so smooth and well thought. I’ve owned a Zoom for years but now I really understand the difference and the incredible advantages of the sound device. The operation/menu system is incredible intuitive and you feel familiar very quickly. This equipment is so compact and easy to carry around in smaller productions. I’m really happy to have purchased this instead of the F6. Thank you sound Devices for making incredible equipments.

Item arrived with its original packaging (paper box, clear plastic holder to keep the item secured within box, operating instructions, adapter cable for connecting to specific camera), looking very professional. Feels solid in hand, but when operating the main button to navigate the menu and set the timers, clicking of the button is a bit loud, revealing that less expensive material was used. However, this doesn't detract from the overall quality of the product, which is surprisingly high, especially at this price point. Timer works as described in the listing, no nasty surprises or anything like that. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an affordable remote timer.

about 1/4 the cost as the Sony version. The Sony remote has a movie button if you are into that.

I like many features of the X-T30 including the manual controls and the Drive function on a dedicated dial. Like many others I frequently pushed the Q button by mistake. I disabled it in the menu system and reconfigured the Fn button to access the Quick menu items. It seems that you can do most anything with this camera, but I think it's too much. This is at the lower end of the X cameras, bought primarily, I suspect, by people relatively new to interchangeable lens camera. If that assumption is accurate, they will get lost in the myriad ways to use and configure this camera. My eyes aren't the best, so I'm grateful for auto focus and focus peaking, but I'm very happy to select shutter speed, ISO, and aperture manually. Not because I'm a professional photographer (definitely not) but because I understand those controls and know how to use them. Once other functions are put in auto mode I have no idea what decisions the electronics have made. Similarly, the very detailed menu system is wonderful for advanced photographers, but most of them will buy X-T3, X-T4, or the newer medium format cameras. Too many choices lead to confusion for amateurs. So the Quick menu is a good idea, but even that requires choices many would rather not make (or don't understand). The last thing I would want Fuji to do is turn this into a point-and-shoot, but I think they would be wise to provide a simplified menu system that most amateurs could navigate without referring to a 300 page manual.

The first thing I want to touch on is the kit lens; 24-70mm f/4. I have seen videos of so called pros calling this lens overpriced and flimsy. My copy is well built, solid and oozes quality; even the lens hood attaches securely with no play. Yes it is plastic, but believe me it does not feel cheap at all. Other reviews mention the quality of the images, that is well founded. The camera body feels great in the hand. I’ve read the manual extensively and customized the Fn buttons so I can use focus settings (continuous, and dynamic area) for action and to change the metering mode; this along with the release mode button gets you ready quick. There are user settings directly on the shooting mode dial to customize too. I also used prioritize viewfinder to keep the rear screen off, except for playback and menu access, in order to save battery life and having had the camera on for hours while customizing it, etc. it lowered 2 bars. i-menu is setup for things like HDR, Active D-lighting (eh), multiple exposure and other settings I don’t have on my buttons. I also set my “Release Button to Use Dial’ to on so once you hit a button, you don’t have to hold it down to move the command dials, awkward when you have large hands, especially with sub-dial.  A large sensor, in a camera not much bigger than an Olympus E-M1 MK II, which I placed side by side with this camera; with similar weight (both with zooms attached), even with the 24-70 f/4 and you have a fantastic travel camera with resolution to satisfy the most discerning landscape photographer.

I was a Canon shooter for many years, then I bought the Sony A7R IV and WOW what a camera it is. Many say the menu is large and confusing but all one has to do is take the time to study it. The menu is large for a reason and all your favorite features can be put in their own menu and made to come up when you press the menu button. I like how the camera fits in my hands and its fit and finish are all very nice. The 24x70mm lens is a bit heavy but it is a G-Master and has a lot of professional grade glass. This is not a point and shoot so I just have to get use to the weight. I also love that with the press of a button I can change from full sensor mode to APS-C crop sensor mode. I could go on and on parsing this camera, but you get the idea, I am impressed.

Set-up was fast. The single-button menu navigation is very intuitive and easier to use than I had expected. Image quality is exceptional. (Note: I am not using this monitor for gaming, so I have no real feedback regarding response rates.)

I like the menu system and the control button layout. The lack of a second SD card and an earphone outlet is a downside making this camera lean toward consumer rather than pro. With the kit lens it is a very good value. Should I upgrade to the GH5 the lenses will all work. All in all I am pleased with my choice.

I have owned the D750 for almost 5-1/2 years and loved my first full frame camera. I have had the D780 for 2 weeks and I like it a lot. I have already forgotten the lack of a vertical battery grip. There are lots of changes in the menu system, so take your time setting up and customizing it for your style of photography. By default, the camera AF-On is engaged by the shutter release and the AF-On button on the back. So the first thing you need to do is to turn off the AF by the half push of the shutter button. The refinement in the Fine Tuning is excellent. You can now fine two distances for a zoom lens. Also its much easier to change the settings of the Function, PV, and other buttons. Bravo Nikon for making this a one screen for all buttons rather than individuals menu lines. There are multiple ergonomically changes on the body, some are good and the others I have not decided. Will know more this weekend after a 3 hour photo shoot. The higher ISO settings will make a difference for shooting inside homes and museums. Definitely less grain at 56,000. There is a subtle sound change to the shutter. I like it better than the D750. The quiet mode is good but I don't object to the CH mode sound. Have not printed any images yet but what I seen on my 24 monitor and on the camera monitor screen is fine. Honestly, I waited until the first price drop on the D780 and wound up paying exactly the same price as I paid for the D750. Since I bought the body with no lens, I did take advantage of buying the camera body with Accessories Kit. That option includes a SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC UHS-I memory card rated at speeds up to 170MB/S and the Nikon Advanced Amateur bag. That is $60 worth of free items. The memory card went into slot #2 on the camera and I ordered a faster SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC UHS-II rated at 300MB/s for slot #1. So far I really like the camera and highly recommend it.

I have been using this product for over 5 years. The features that I love are the silence button, menu screen with unit operation details, user replaceable batteries, being able to set the UPS sensitivity, and the number 1 feature of this unit is the additional battery expansion pack that can be added to it! Couldn't ask for a better UPS than this.
