Measuring only .25" x 1.25 x 2.5" (6.5 x 32 x 63.5mm), the Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote easily fits in even a small pocket.

Unlike the Canon RC-5 Wireless Remote, the RC-6 will operate in either 2-second delay mode or will instantly take a shot (like the Canon RC-1 Wireless Remote).

Point the Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote toward the front of the camera (line of sight only) within 16' (5m) and take the shot when you are ready. Or use it to start a video.

Using a wireless remote release eliminates camera motion related to pressing the shutter release – and allows you to be a subject in your photo. Being able to stay near your subject to assist in composition (or ease stress) is another benefit.

The Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote runs on one CR2032 lithium button battery (included) that seems to last forever (but definitely have a spare on hand). The Canon RC-6 Wireless Remote is a very useful device – and having no cord is great. It is so small that you can even put it on your key ring.
