Benefits
This remote is a useful tool for users who want include themselves in the photograph and do not want to have to return to the camera time and time again to retake the picture, before a rushed return to the pose. It can also be used to take photographs without pressing the shutter button, which can cause vibration and affect image quality when the shutter is open for longer periods as during situations like night photography.
