Can not answer you with the info you provided.
I use it regularly with my d7000, and my newer d7200.
Make sure you have a straight line of sight between camera and the ml-l3.

I have the same problem. Seems that when you set "Remote control mode (ML-L3)" to any of the three options in the shooting menu & turn the camera off, it resets the "Remote control mode (ML-L3)" to the "OFF " position. I just switched to a wired remote trigger.

Thanks I went back to a wired....so the solution is to setup Remote control mode (ML-L3) every-time I want to use it?

You are correct.

Don't know about your camera, I was having the same issue with the ML L3 on my D 750, having to set it up in the menu every time. After searching the Manual I found an obscure footnote. There is a Remote Duration setting under Timers / AE lock, c 5, arrow on it, and you have choices of 1, 5, 10, and 15 minutes. Set your choice, and it remains in place. You do still have to turn the remote selection on at the beginning of each session, and again after your chosen time has expired. Suspect it might be the same on other models that are remote compatible.

My 7100 does the same thing, I sent an inquiry to Nikon. They said that for the convenience of the user that the setting returns to default when power is cycled. When the setting is in the on state the Camera mounted button is disabled. That is the reasoning.

Thanks but I don't understand this: When the setting is in the on state the Camera mounted button is disabled. That is the reasoning.

Yes you can not use the remote and the button at the same time. I am not sure why that was what I got from Nikon.

What camera mounted button? The shutter release button works when the remote is turned on, and the remote still works after the shutter is tripped manually. Just tried it on my D 750.

Yes the shutter release on the Camera, I never tried it, I was just told that by Nikon, when next I am set up to shot with the remote I will try it.
