The reason I bought the remote is because the multi-selector button does not
work in the direction to the right, so when I come across a menu that
requires a right-press, I can’t continue, even when using the Quick
button. The remote has a new battery.
The problem is that when the remote is plugged in, the 8700 will power on --
the lens extends and all that -- but all displays are blank.
According to page 144 of the manual, the problem could be it is
“connected with Time Lapse or Movie selected for continuous" -- but
even that is supposed to be an error that is displayed, and as I said,
everything is blank.
On page 146: If the monitor is blank, the remote is connected in standby
mode.
The manual (I have it in PDF) has a few ways to take it out of standby, and I
think I have tried them.
Any ideas? I just hope the fix does not require the right-pointing mode
selector. Maybe a bad battery?
