One of the things about the Nikon D4 that interested me most was the ability to operate video remotely. These two short clips were shot with the camera in the stream, just above water level and I was sat on the bank some distance away. The camera was triggered with my usual radio remote. I was initially concerned that I would have to set up the camera with live view already on. This meant that with the cold conditions plus a long wait the battery might run down quickly. It was a nice surprise to find that the camera could be left with live view off and a half-press on the transmitter would turn it on, and then a full press to start and stop video. Once on though, live view can't be turned off. However, with the WT5 wireless transmitter, most camera functions, still and video, can be controlled remotely by an iPhone or iPad or a laptop running Nikon Camera Control. This is very exciting.
