T4i insensitive infrared sensor

In the past I used the infrared remote control RC-6 successfully to trigger my T4i Canon to take group photos, so I don't know how to use it. However, this past week it just stopped working. I know that the problem is with the camera and not the remote RC - 6 because I used a multimeter to check the battery and also saw the remote control when triggered by a camera that allows me to see the remote control and the infrared light emitting light whenever the button is pressed. I also tried another remote control via my mobile phone with an application designed to be used as a remote Canon and fails to trigger the camera as well, she has worked in the past. I have all the latest updates Firmware as well. If with all that, someone has ideas, or had the same problem with the camera itself become insensitive to the remote control? This unit is in perfect condition and very clean, so I know that the infrared sensor is not dirty. Is there a process of re-boot that could get it back? I wouldn't want to reset everything and is not the problem. Any help appreciated.

Yes, I thought that you probably know what you're doing, but you never know.  We get all types here and I've seen several threads where we have very detailed discussions to find that it was a simple user error.

You can try a factory reset, but I don't think that's likely.  I do not think that the custom functions for IR.  I can't think a special mode where the IR sensor is disabled but I would test try in manual just to be sure.  This ensures that you do not have a visor, but I know put that you the right distance in front of the sensor.

Sorry, I don't really see anything.  I use my little RC-1 years with my 450 d and now 6 d and never really had a problem with it.  But an IR sensor is a simple device, I guess it's rare that they fail.

I'm curious to know what application you use for the IR blaster?  I want to give a go.

    Hi mate,

    where´s so the problem? Just put new batteries in your machine and begin to control your computer with the remote control. Your portable computer with an infrared port that communicates with the remote and usually such device is automatically recognized by windows.

    May I ask what operating system do you use? XP or Vista?

  • iTunes starts automatically

    Hi, I have an ATV4 connected to my mac mini (last el capitan). the two are connected to my TV high definition.

    My HDTV is connected with the audio cable standard headphones to the sound bar.

    The soundbar also has airplay activated via iTunes on mini.

    Whenever I run the ATV4, it starts playing automatically through the sound bar the last song that I played on iTunes on my mac mini.

    even if iTunes was not loaded on the mini, it starts up and start playing music.

    very annoying. It will start and stop playing music while browsing through the ATV.

    Curiously, if it's a radio stream I can not even access to the ATV4, it shows as a playlist in my music on ATV4 but is in fact empty when I click it. I have to go to my mini mac and iTunes to stop him from playing.

    any thoughts?

    Your mini has an infrared sensor to control it with an Apple remote.  The remote ATV4 puts the infrared signals during its use.  The mini sees the signals and think she's talking about her.  Launch of iTunes is the first thing he does.

    If you do not use the mini with a remote control, you can disable the remote on the mini sensor.

    If you want to use the mini with its remote and the quad with its distance separately, you need to associate each remote for its corresponding device so it does not take into account the other remote.

    Here is a video to disable:

  • Pavilion media center tv: M8120n

    Computer hangs after startup.  Will work for 3 or 4 minutes then the mouse and keyboard stop working.  The infrared sensor shows no more red light. This may cause to freeze the computer?

    Thank you for the additional information.

    We will discuss what is obvious.  When a computer is more than 8 years, it's a dinosaur. This means that all components could be at fault.  Imagine, running for more than 8 years with all the heat that develops every time that it runs.

    Well, I got that off my chest.  Let's go back to the next step - memory.  You must remove all modules and replace them one at a time.  Use the slot closest to the processor which should be the #1.  Start the computer to see what's happening.  It is the best way to test them.

  • Satellite A60-124: using the IrDA port to transfer the data to the mobile phone

    Hi, I want to Exchange data between a phone mobile SonyEricsson and my laptop A60 - 124 via an IrDA port. I activated the infrared sensor in the phone but the laptop does not detect anything.

    The device setting menu shows my port Irda ok and seems to be enabled. What should I do?

    I m not 100% sure but I think on some portable computers, you can enable and disable the IrDA port in the BIOS. Check to be sure.

    In the control panel in the IrDA option, you can choose the place where the incoming files must be saved. So if the IrDA connection has been activated on your mobile phone it should work.
    Remember that the mobile phone IrDA window is in the right position.

  • How to use a set of VGP-WKB11

    One of my friends bought an all in a desktop computer VAIO, a Sony.com VPCJ118FX/B, to be computer to be used in paris (France), so with a QWERTY keyboard.
    As she did not want to be disturbed, she bought in her country a Sony service center set of QWERTY and mouse who did and gave me his US keyboard and mouse, a VGP-WKB11 keyboard and mouse VGP-WMS30 with the receiver.

    I tried to use with my windows 7 ultimate x 64 with other software using remapping and stickers to convert this American keyboard to a french. Even if my windows detects new hardware, it is not used when I swith off my old keyboard and mouse... I use a software for windows to use my new material (I saw nothing about this in the support/downloads) have they?

    Thank you very much for your answers!

    The wireless keyboard and mouse are IR and not Bluetooth. friends VPCJ118FX/B has an internal infrared sensor that detects the keyboard and the mouse. Unfortunately unless your computer has a sensor IR that will communicate with the mouse and the keyboard they will not work.

  • control remote for PC

    I want to HP 700 - 500z PC with TV tuner, came with a TSGH-2401 remote control.

    Where can I get the instructions for the user to control?  I'm not familiar with the device.

    Do I have to install a TV signal antena?

    The remote is an infrared device, so it sends a signal to an infrared sensor on the computer. Yes to use the TV feature that you have to attach an antenna or a coaxial cable from the provider of pay-per-view television tuner at the back of the computer. Within the Cyberlink Media Suite, you should have solutions TV from Cyberlink. Windows 8.1 is more a Media Center feature rich, but I think that you can add it with a download from Microsoft. Once you join a TV signal to the tuner card and open the program it will guide you in the use of the remote control.

  • T6 IR remote?

    Received a T6 digital SLR kit for a trip. Camera and objectives are functioning as they should, but it came with an infrared remote shutter release. I can't find a setting on the camera to enable it. The T6 has an infrared sensor and if so, how do I turn it on?

    According to the picture in the manual, there is no mention of an infrared sensor, which should be on the front.

    The manual applies only to a Canon wired switch RS-60E3.  I would ask the people who sold the use.  The only way that I know would be if you had an infrared sensor that plugged into the remote control Terminal, like the wired remote would be.

  • Cannot disable the microphone 1 on SX10 TC7.2.0

    Morning!

    Here, we have a SX10 recently upgraded to TC7.2.0, both microphones work perfectly but the problem we have is we cannot cut the microphone 1 (one internal), we need mute because the codec is somewhat less a screen with speakers to the codec.

    I tried to mute to ' Configuration > system setup > Audio > Microphone Mode 1 input > Off "but not working even after a reboot of the device.

    I tried to disable it in CLI with the command ' xconfiguration Audio input Microphone Mode: Off "but doesn't.

    Can someone give me a hand with this problem?

    Best regards and thanks for your help.

    Hello - I just tested this with free TC7.2.0 software.  The version number is TC7.2.0.aea6651.

    I tested during a call and used the web interface to Configuration > System Configuration > Audio > input Microphone 1 Mode > Off

    I tested it with a table 20 Mic and without.  In both cases, the internal mic has been disabled successfully by the interface web and delivered to market successfully.

    To check this, I typed the two microphones with my fingernail.  The location of the internal MIC is just to the lower right of the camera that you look at the front the SX10. It shares the location with the infrared sensor.

    I could easily hear the tapping of my nail through the speakers of the other system I was calling.  Disable "Microphone Mode 1:" and I couldn't hear the tapping.  Turn on "Microphone Mode 1:" and I could hear the tapping very well.

    So I think that it works correctly.

  • infrared temperature sensor

    Hello

    Concerning

    Shaik.

    I see your screenshot you have nothing related to the upper part of the series set defines the stop character.  By default it is enabled and the value of a newline character (ASCII 10).  As a 10-byte might be a perfectly legitimate byte of data, it is very likely you will receive your VISA and this byte read ends early.  Thus the 2nd byte following the newline character is sitting in the buffer of the series and becomes the first byte of the next read throw all out of sync.  It makes sense that it reads very well until 09FF but not after.  The next value will be 10 00, therefore the line break character arises and ends VISA read initially.

    Associate a false Boolean constant character Terminal allow termination of the series configures.  You also have a lot of inputs under the compulsion of this function.  Delete them all and do a right-click on the entry and choose Create Constant.  Now, you will have one of the constants of the appropriate data type.
