[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 210711, member: 16749"] By [i]“ir sensor”[/i], you mean for use of a remote control? Are you sure? I bought this, a few weeks ago, at Target. Actually, I bought two of them, because the price was so spectacularly good. [ATTACH=CONFIG]56914._xfImport[/ATTACH] The package lists the D3000 as one of the cameras with which it is compatible. I have the D3200, and this remote works great with it. I have a hard time imagining that the D3100 would lack a feature that both its immediate predecessor and its immediate successor have. My D3200 has two IR sensors, one of the front in the middle of the handgrip area, and one on the back, near the upper left corner. You might normally not notice either unless you were specifically looking for them, and knew what to look for. I bet your D3100 is the same. [ATTACH=CONFIG]56915._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]56916._xfImport[/ATTACH] By the way, with a remote such Nikon's ML-L3, or the cheap knockoff above that I bought at Target, a “Time” exposure mode becomes available, like Bulb mode, but instead of staying open as long as you hold the button, it opens when you push the button, and closes when you push it again. The manual for by D3200 says that it'll stay open a maximum of thirty minutes. Again, I bet your D3100 is the same, though some of the other postings in this thread lead me to suspect that the thirty-minute limit on my D3200 may be shorter on your D3100. [/QUOTE]
