Joy, this is from the Nikon website. You have to set up the camera to respond to the remote. Hope this helps. In the manual, it's around page 107 (don't have mine handy atm)

Using the ML-L3 remote control:
Mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or place the camera on a stable, level surface.
Press the (button next to bkt at top back left) button and rotate main command dial until (delayed remote) or (quick response remote) is displayed in the control panel.
Frame the photograph. In autofocus (AF) mode, the camera shutter-release button can be used to check focus, although only the shutter release-button on the remote control can be used to release the shutter.
Note - To ensure correct exposure in modes other than M, cover the viewfinder eyepiece with your hand or with the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap before pressing the shutter-release button. This will prevent light entering via the viewfinder from interfering with the autoexposure operation.
Aim the transmitter on the ML-L3 at the infrared receiver on the camera and press the shutter-release button on the ML-L3 (when using the remote outdoors, make sure that the subject is not backlit and that the line of site between the transmitter and the infrared receiver is not blocked by the lens or other obstacles). The maximum operational distance of the ML-L3 is 5m directly in front of the camera.
