Hi Brian,

When I first got my EOS 20D, I had a similar problem with the multi-way
Controller (MWC). At about the same time, I also got a Sony programmable
Infrared remote control (RM-VL1000) with a similar MWC.

I figured out that my error was trying to use the MWC like a joystick,
expecting the switch to twist or roll around like a ballhead on a tripod.

Instead, I had better success when using the MWC like a computer trackpad.
In other words, I put my thumb the controller, and SLIDE the MWC in the
direction that I want.

The action is similar to moving pieces around on a checkerboard. Would
this work for you too?

Cheers
Julian Loke
