A camera and remote control mechanism for controlling operation of the camera includes a camera housing, one or more controllable mechanisms disposed in the camera housing, a remote controller separate from the camera housing for transmitting radiation towards the camera, a detector connected to the camera housing for detecting radiation from the remote controller, and control means for controlling the one or more controllable mechanisms when the detector detects radiation from the remote controller. The remote controller transmits visible laser radiation which is transmitted in a first state for aiming the remote controller at the camera and for controlling at least one controllable mechanism in the camera housing preparatory to the camera recording an image, and which is transmitted in a second state for actuating a camera shutter to record an image.
