After turning the battery around and placing it in correctly and setting to self timer on my Canon XTI, it has worked like a charm for self portraits and tripod shots to eliminate camera shake.

Comments about Canon RC-5 Wireless Remote for EOS Rebel XT/ XTi/ XS/ XSi:

Super simple, I use it for atronomical pics on the bulb setting. Press once to take the shot, press again to end it. It's great. You do have to be in front of the camera for the sensor to detect the signal however.
