I just cant get it right. Any tips on what my settings need to be for my Cannon Rebel EOS T3 for wireless remote mode? I'm pulling my mohawk out trying to figure this all out. thanks!

Wireless shooting with a remote control?
If so, easy as what. Set your camera to wireless shooting (drive mode, -> normal, continuous, selftimer/remote control).

Well I'm not blind, but when I get to the screen that gives the first 3 options there is no option for using a remote. What now?

Well, the self-timer option is exactly the same as the remote control option. I.e. when you push the shutter release on the camera you will get a self timer, and when you push the button on your remote you will get the camera work wirelessly. It's the arrow to the left though.

Ok so sorry for being camera retarded, I am just learning to be my own photographer. When I get to the menue its 3 options, Continious, which I tried, no go, a 10 second self timer and a self timer that you could set from 2 to 10 seconds. My wireless has two options, 0 delay and 3 second delay. So do I just need to set that third option to 3 and use that?

Um, I could be wrong but I don't think the T3 can use the IR remote. I looked at Gordon's review and it says there is no IR port http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_EOS_Rebel_T3_1100D/

Actually I think that the one that can use IR remotes is the T3i, maybe there was a confusion. I think that if you can plug an IR receiver into the remote socket, you can use it. Otherwise, it won't work as long as I'm concerned. Sorry.

The T3i can use the Cannon brand remote I know that, but two people at the camera shop swore the one I got would work. I am pissed, I need pictures like yesterday and I cant take them. grrr What am I supposed to do? I dont have the money to get the t3i, the pictures I need are to put up places I can make some money so I can get one.

Have you checked on eBay/Amazon for a remote shutter that's compatible?

Although you're based in the States, I'm imagine you can find something similar to this one:

Some of the reviewers they've got it working with the 1100D without any troubles at all.

First remote I got was from Amazon said it was compatable, it was a piece of crap pretty much.

T3, okay, I misread it and thought you meant the T3i. My bad.
So you have a wired RC I guess? -since there's no IR RC available for the 1100D. As I said, just put your camera to remote controlled shooting/self timer. Should work.

EDIT
D'Oh, see you have wireless remote. It's not compatible with your 1100D since there's no IR port.
