Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the RM-SPR1 is simple: ensure your Sony camera is turned off, locate the multi-terminal port on the side of the camera body, and firmly plug in the remote connector. Once connected, turn on your camera and it should be ready to use immediately. For care, always hold the connector shell—not the wire—when unplugging to prevent strain on the internal cables. Store the unit in a dry place and use the included cord adjuster to organize the cable during storage to prevent kinks or tangles. Ensure the multi-terminal port on your camera is clean and free of debris before insertion.
