I just bought a Canon remote RC-1 for my Rebel EOS XTi and pointed it to the camera, but nothing happened> I checked the batteries and they test fine. I changed to different settings, but nothing. Nowhere on my camera manuel can I find a set up info. Did I miss something or my remote is out of order. Thanks for your help. J-C
The infrared port on the camera is on the front, in the handgrip area. Have you pointed the RC-1 towards the front of the camera, with the camera turned on and ready to shoot?The infrared port on the camera is on the front, in the handgrip area.

In order for the remote to work the drive mode needs to be set to "self timer-remote" .....that is selected by the drive mode selection button identified with the clock and multiple frames symbol ....on the back of the camera...to the right of the lcd monitor

Sorry to hear about this. I have a similar camera and have been racking my brain about this...
My only thought...are you using the same battery charger? Perhaps the battery charger is to blame. You may be out of battery on both batteries. When you install the battery, does ANYTHING happen? Does it say, LOW Battery or CHANGE the battery? Or is it totally black? If nothing happens at all, you should probably contact Canon directly. Or purchase a new charger and see if that fixes the problem.

Mcm,
Trying taking a Q-tip with some alcohol and cleaning the contacts inside the battery chamber. Also, you can take it to your local camera store and ask them to try it with one of their batteries to rule out if yours is dead.
There could be dust or other foreign objects in the battery slot, you might need to clean it out. If not, I would advise that you may need a replacement battery
I am not sure about this matter but it seems there is a problem with your new computer. it might not recognize the usb cable. try to plug your camera in another USB port and try again.
this is exactly the same problem I have, just the camera is Rebel XT.
and Yes, the camera was on, and nothing happened.
You are Pimp-Tastic!!! Thanks!
Yay! Thank you turnpinruss!
