Again, with the IR remote, the Fn button's Drive Mode menu allows you
to choose the remote or bracketing, not both.
The infrared remote operates the camera in one of two modes,
depending upon how you set the custom function:
- Default mode is to simply release the shutter, presuming
focus and exposure have been set.
- Optional mode is to operate the AF and
exposure metering when pressed.
The IR remote sensor is on the front of the body, so it's designed to
be used from the front primarily ... typical situation like a self-
portrait with family. At short distances, it works fine from fairly
large angles away from directly head on.
The wired remote switch (CS-203? I think) operates exactly like the
shutter release button (with the addition of a lock for Bulb
exposures) so it works with all Drive Mode settings. A long enough
wire lets you use it from anywhere. There is a Canon remote release
with a longer cord which is less expensive, and you can get an
extension cord for either from Radio Shack ... it's a standard three-
wire cellular phone headset connection.

Now, will auto bracket work with the remote control? If so, would
you have
to be standing in front of the camera? From what I see in the manual,
that's the case, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
