Remote Switch for Canon 1000 DSLR

[Tinkerbell]

Hi,

I have a canon 1000 DSLR. I had a remote switch canon RC-6 very kindly bought for me as a present for Christmas. Unfortunately, and I so hope I'm just not being extremely thick, I cannot seem to get it to work, and after consulting my manual for the camera I seem to think I need a cabled switch. Does anyone know any secret method of how to use this or do I need a cabled switch ??? I would be eternally grateful if anyone knows the answer to this question lol

Thanks
Tink

Yiou need the Remote Switch RS-60E3, or Hahnel make a compatible one too. The 1000d cannot use Infra Red remotes, you are right, a wired one is required.
