Control of the Slow Shutter function
The RM-B170 can set the number of accumulated frames for a camera equipped with the SLS (Slow Shutter) function.

Parallel operation with another control panel
When the unit is connected to a camera via a camera control unit, the camera can be concurrently controlled from this unit and another remote control panel, such as the MSU-1000/1500-series master setup unit or RCP-1000/1500-series remote control panel. This makes it an affordable solution for multi-camera shoots.

Assignable and high brightness buttons
Various functions can be assigned to two buttons, which allows journalists live logging (shot markers) or camera function activation. The operations buttons and controls on the front panel of the unit include buttons with Superluminosity LEDs, making them easy to identify in a low and high light environment and indicating the operation status by flashing or lighting. The brightness of the indicators can be adjusted.
