It did not work until you mentioned to make sure the Remote Ctrl is "ON" and it worked. Thank you!

I watched numerous videos when my remote did not work. Everybody wanted me to upgrade the camera’s firmware and reset it but then I found your video. One sentence made the difference: “before the pairing, you need to go back … turn remote control on.” Why Sony on their help page does not mention that and leave it to you to educate us, beats me. Big thanks.

Same for me, I got the device paired to my RX100 VII, but not working until you taught me there is a second setting to actually turn on the remote. I guess this is for your other great point, the battery will die since remote function disables auto-turn-off. I sent the cheapo remote back to Amazon, and bought a refurb Sony remote. They both paired, but did not work until I watched your video. A million thanks. My next step would be to send the camera back to shady retailer that was not a Sony dealer. They upsold me from the 'import" aka greymarket, aka no-warranty model. This was hidden in their ad, but we settled on 300 bucks more to match the price from another vendor plus the PayPal cancellation fee. Crooks. I bought a second RX100 Vii at Best Buy just now, so I know I have a real Sony domestic model.

I bought two different ones of the knock offs in succession for £32 each and thought both didn't work so sent them back. Then I bought the expensive Sony one for £65 and thought that didn't work either. Just watched your video and saw that I not only need to turn Bluetooth on but also need to turn the remote feature on. Doh. Sony one works totally fine now so thanks. I think I'll re order the £32 one to see if that works then send the Sony one back and save £33.

Good, simple explainer (unlike so many self-promotional crap on KZbin). One problem with the "remote commander" is bluetooth, which is an unreliable piece of shit. It can randomly disconnect, suffer interference, or interrupt. If bluetooth on your cellphone is turned on, that may well interfere with your camera connections. Or it could be the cellphone or mobile device of somebody else near you. Bluetooth uses the 2.4Ghz radio frequency, which is also used by WiFi, cordless phones, microwave oven, flourescent lights, and many home devices.

Wish I'd watched this before struggling trying to follow Sony's own printed instructions. Thanks to you we are joined. One gripe though - I love taking long exposure shots, therefore rely on Bulb mode. At the price of this thing would it be too much to ask for a simple timer on the back?

I think the first time you pair a remote, it's different. For me, it would not allow me to turn on the Bluetooth remote option without pairing first. When I tried to turn it on, it would automatically show the pairing screen. Other than that, it worked fine.

Nope but you could use the time lapse function in-camera for this and still use the remote to start and stop it. That’s if you have a model that supports interval shooting.

If you are using manual focus you can move the focus in and out with the help of focus peaking by using the +/- buttons on the remote when in focus mode. However, this only seems to work on a few lenses. Which lens are you planning to use? If I have it I'll try it on mine to make sure it works.
