I use this with the E-510 for evening and night shots for longer exposures. It's easy to use and eliminates shake from pressing the shutter botton. It's also great for getting me into the shot, for a change.

Comments about Olympus Olympus RM-1, Wireless Remote Control for Digital Point & Shoot Cameras.:

The remote is everything I hoped it would be. It's easy to use and small enough to carry in a shirt pocket. It's great for including yourself in a family group shot. Just put it on the 2 second delay and you can hide the remote at your side so it's not seen in the photo.

Works, but its a little tricky.
By Travis ManleyVerified Purchaser from Sequim, WA on 9/26/2007
Pros:
Lightweight
Cons:
Difficult To Use
Best Uses:
Everyday use, Home, Macro Photography, Portraits, Professional, Studio, Traveling
Describe Yourself:
Professional
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Olympus Olympus RM-1, Wireless Remote Control for Digital Point & Shoot Cameras.:

I got this to take photos where I would be in the shot. The downside to this remote is you have to point the remote at the front of the camera to use it. This works okay if you are taking photos of yourself (if you can do it at an angle where you dont see yourself holding it). I was thinking of using this in the studio for macro shots so I didnt shake the camera but I would have to hold it over the top of the camera and point it at the sensor.
