Building on the legacy of the popular Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3, the Canon Timer Remote Controller TC-E3 provides support for cameras equipped with an E3 remote terminal without the need for any adapters. The TC-E3 helps to provide more control and creativity for specialized photography, combining the precise exposure and long interval automation of the TC-80N3 with a larger backlit display, a new clock function for scheduled shooting, a tripod socket for convenient mounting, a dedicated power button, and standard AAA battery power.
Working Remotely
A remote controller is an essential tool for mirrorless and DSLR photographers and videographers seeking maximum stability and tack sharp images across a wide range of applications, from astrophotography, macro shots, and long exposure night scenes to studio recording and time lapse projects. Just like traditional mechanical cable releases, the TC-E3 allows you to trigger the shutter without touching the tripod mounted camera, eliminating the subtle vibrations caused by a finger press and helping ensure razor sharp results at any shutter speed. The E3 connector supports cameras equipped with an E3 Port, while built in advanced timer functions open up even greater creative control.
All About Timing
Designed for advanced automation, the TC-E3 features a versatile suite of stackable timing functions. The Self Timer delays shooting up to nearly 100 hours, while the Interval Timer spans from 1 second to over 4 days apart for time lapses. A Long Exposure Timer provides precise Bulb mode control up to 99 plus hours, and the Shot Count selector supports 1 to 9,999 exposures or infinite repeated shooting. The new Time Setting Shooting feature lets you schedule exact start and end times of day to automatically trigger your camera or video recording.
Larger Display and Convenient Controls
The TC-E3 features a 20 percent larger LCD display panel with bigger numbers and icons compared with the TC-80N3, along with an orange illumination backlight for high visibility in low light scenes. It is powered by two standard AAA batteries, sold separately, instead of a coin or button cell for the added convenience of readily available replacements. A dedicated power button provides direct control, while the standard 1/4 inch tripod socket allows the controller to be easily affixed to a tripod for convenient mounting during specialized photography, long exposure shooting, studio recording, and time lapse projects.
