Introduction
Thank you for choosing Vello.
Congratulations on the purchase of your Vello IR-STV infrared remote
control. This wireless remote lets you take photos, shoot video, print images,
and control playback on your Sony DSLR or NEX camera from up to fifteen
feet away. The Vello IR-STV is especially useful for preventing camera shake
during long exposures and for taking self-portraits. It can also be used to
trigger a remote camera when shooting events.
Precautions
Before using your Vello IR-STV infrared remote control, please read the
following safety notices carefully and thoroughly to ensure safe use and to
help prevent damage to your remote control or injury to yourself or others.
• Remove the battery from this product before long-term storage in order
to prevent it from leaking corrosive liquids.
• This product is not water resistant. Keep it away from rain, snow,
humidity, and general moisture.
• Do not clean this product with agents containing corrosive or flammable
substances such as paint thinner, benzene, or nail polish remover.
• Strong light and weak batteries may adversely affect the transmission of
the infrared signal.
• Dispose of used batteries properly. Never heat them or throw them into a
fire, as this can cause the batteries to leak corrosive liquids, generate heat,
or explode.
Overview
* These controls perform the same function as their on-camera equivalents.
Note: Except for the S, S2, and Video buttons, the buttons will work only
when the camera is plugged into a TV.
Using Your IR-STV as a Remote Trigger

2. Plug your camera into a PictBridge-compliant printer.
3. Display the image you want to print, and then press the PRINT button on
the remote control.
For more information about the playback and printing features, consult your
camera’s manual.
Replacing the Battery

lithium battery. To replace the battery, follow
these steps:
1. Use your fingernail to pry the battery tray
out of the remote.
2. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one, making sure the
