The Pentax Infrared Remote Control System is a unit which permits an almost unlimited possibility of special photographic assignments through a cordless remote control principle. It is comprised of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits a pulse of near-infrared ray which then is received by the receiver unit to simultaneously operate the camera mechanism, motor drive, a winder, or a flash. The system is able to wirelessly control the operations cited from a maximum distance of 60mm in a straight path; a three-channel control provision allows the simultaneous or independent operation of three cameras, with the addition of three infrared pulse receiving units.
This accessory works with a wide variety of Pentax film cameras depending on the cord, winder, motor drive, etc. used. The cord provided in this kit is the Infrared remote release cord 3p, compatible with the Motor drive LX.
