Thanks Ken, Stan,

Yeah, Punkrockemo, i've done that and there's an amber light flashing on the front to indicate i'm on the remote driver setting.

Cheers Derek

Thanks Les , i've been reassured by the seller that JJC RM-E4 is compatible, so hopefully it's just a faulty one.

Cheers Derek

Hello everyone, i've just purchased an Optio RZ18 because of the I.R. remote control feature and because it was rather cheap £70(ex demo with 2 year warranty). However the separately purchased JJC RM-E4 which was advertised as compatible for my new camera, simply isn't according to the manufactors manuel & website. Can anyone tell me any remotes which are 100% compatible with my RZ18.

There's 3 cheaper remotes which claim to be compatible, but thats what was said in my first remote purchase.

Or is the Pentax F remote compatible and the only way to go?

Thanks, Derek.
