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

The Vello IR-STV can trigger your camera’s shutter from up to fifteen feet 
away. To use your IR-STV as a remote trigger, turn on your camera and 
follow these steps: 

1.  Remove the plastic separator from the battery.

2. Set up your shot and make sure your camera is in focus.

3.  Set your camera for remote triggering. For more information about the 

remote triggering feature, consult your camera’s manual.

4.  Aim the remote at the camera’s infrared sensor and press the S button to 

release the shutter. To release the shutter with a two-second delay, press 
the 2S button.

The Vello IR-STV can trigger video shooting on compatible Sony cameras. To 
start shooting video, press the Video button. To stop shooting video, press 
the Video button again.

Important! 

Because infrared technology requires line-of-sight communica-

tion between the two devices, make sure there are no obstructions 
between the remote and your camera’s sensor.

Playback, Slideshow, and Printing

You can use your Vello IR-STV remote to wirelessly control playback on 
your Sony camera when the camera is plugged into your TV. Most of the 
buttons on the IR-STV will correspond with the buttons on your Sony 
camera.

To begin a slideshow, press the slideshow button on the remote. Use the 
right or left buttons on the multi-selector to display the next or previous 
image, and use the ENTER button for play and pause.

To print images while viewing them on the TV, follow these steps:

1.  Use an HDMI cable to connect your camera to an HDTV.

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

The Vello IR-STV is powered by a 3 V CR2025 
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 

side marked with a plus sign (+) is facing up.

3.  Push the battery tray back into the remote so it locks in place.
