Q: 4. How can I connect it to Nikon dc-2 camera plug to remotely trigger the shutter?

A: You would connect a remote cable with the DC-2 connector to this receiver into the miniphone jack on the side of it. One such cable you can use is the Vello 3.5mm Remote Shutter Release Cable for Nikon DC-2 Cameras, B&H # VERCCN235. Please see the image below for reference.

Q: 5. How do I select that I want this for canon camera? It says canon or Nikon optional but doesn't give the option to choose between the two. Does it somehow work for both? I added to cart and even then dos not give me the option to select canon or Nikon.

A: The JR2 transmitter actually works for both Nikon or Canon without changing any settings. The transmitter is triggered only by the center contact on the hotshoe. It doesn't use any of the proprietary contacts that communicate TTL exposure. You manually control flash output by manipulating the settings on the transmitter. The JR2 transmitter will allow you to use Nikon speedlights with Canon body or vice versa or even to mix Nikon and Canon and third-party speedlights in the same shot.
