Does it work with a R6?
Asked by: James
It works well IF you are facing into camera and can direct beam to IF sensor on front of camera. Use it if you want to get into a group shot. NOT useful if you're behind the camera

question

How far away can I be from the camera for the remote to work? Is it appropriate for self-portrait use, using a 200mm lens?
Asked by: Ahyoung W.
Since this is an infrared remote, you will need to be in the camera's line of sight up to sixteen feet. You could use this remote for self portraiture, yes.
