Improve CanonG3 remote control?

External Since: Nov 28, 2003 Posts: 1

I have recently puchased a Canon G3, which exceeds my expectations and
ability (at the moment).
There is however one area which I would like to improve. The remote control
operates over a very limited distance, and I would like to set the camera
up and take pictures from a distance. e.g. of my bird table.
Is there any device that I could use to do this, the included remote
control only operates from a couple of metres.
TIA

John,

I had success with my remote to 30 feet(9m?). Just be sure the IR lens on
the camera is in clear view. And a good new or strong battery is in the
remote.

My conditions were outdoor with family, taking portraits while being in
them. Worked fine, except, remember to set the delay or else the hand with
the remote will be visible Smile

I know of no alternative to the Canon remote supplied with the camera,
Sorry.
