NEX-7 Video Record via Infrared Remote by Lucky Luke One thing missing from the Sony NEX remote is the ability to trigger video recording on the camera. Well a few people have found solutions. Below is eglijeg's solution using a Harmony Remote . He outlines the steps and they have been confirmed to work by other people. We do not have a Harmony Remote to test it, maybe someone can find a solution for a Comcast Remote. I got this to work fantasically with a Harmony 890 though. Some of you have figured out, there is already the NEX-5 as a device in the Harmony programming software. It is under VCR. This has all of the standard remote buttons programmed in it. Add this device to your remote in the harmony software program (don't update your remote yet though if you want the record feature to work) Next, in order to get the video record button log into http://members.harmonyremote.com first, then go to http://members.harmonyremote.com/EasyZapper/Infrared/ManualInfrared.asp?Re...

Here is the Tempus NEX, an intervalometer infrared remote for Sony Alpha cameras including the NEX. The Tempus NEX was created by bymac.org and will be available on June 15th according to the Tempus NEX website . The Tempus NEX will cost $69, we're not sure if that includes worldwide shipping, it is being made in Portugal. Send an email to tempus@bymac.org if you are interested in this intervalometer for time lapse movies. Here is a sample time lapse movie by bymac.org made with the Tempus NEX and a Sony NEX-5 . The Tempus NEX will work with Sony Alpha cameras with IR remote receivers, e.g. A900 and SLT-A55. Unfortunately the NEX-5 does not go into sleep mode when it is in Remote Shutter mode. The screen will be on and draining the battery while waiting for the IR signal. Have extra batteries ready when doing intervalometer shots. We are hoping that the next firmware will allow us to turn off the screen as an option.
