    Bluetooth remote, should I disconnect it when not in use?

    Trying out the Canon Remote BR-E1 that Father Christmas brought me.

    First of all I couldn’t find any instructions in the box apart from a comprehensive list in many languages telling me how to take care of the batteries etc!

    Second: couldn’t find instructions in the Wi-Fi booklet. Much later, only realised that was only for Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth!

    Third: hooray for YouTube. A 1 minute video explained you had to connect by pressing 2 buttons simultaneously!

    I have been playing quite happily, but was wondering if I should disconnect when not using it, particularly to save the battery. Also I can use it on more than one camera I own, so thinking I should?

    There is an article on the the Bluetooth Remote BR-E1 in the current January-March 2018 issue of EOS magazine.

      I did a quick search of Google and found some great articles by searching for "how to best use Canon Remote BR-E1" along with videos that you can access now, try checking them out. I don't use that remote so sorry cant help

        Thanks Robert. I’ve been too busy with Christmas to read it.There is nothing worth watching on TV at the moment, so guess what I am going to do!
