Doesn't anybody make air release cables anymore? That used to be
the common
way of handling this problem at distances greater than a foot or
two.

You mean like this?

What I don't get from the image is exactly how it attaches to the
camera. That looks like it ends in a mini plug?




What you see there is the standard tapered thread used on cable
releases for mechanical shutter buttons. That would screw into the
strap-on adapter
mentioned above.

Back in ye olde times, most cameras had a tapered thread hole in the
shutter button to accept the end of a cable release. When the
release is pressed, a plunger extends into the camera to actuate the
shutter. On modern cameras, the shutter button is just a short
travel electric switch so using a switch on a cable or infrared
release is more appropriate.

Thank you for that explanation. So using this shutter release and a
strap on adapter such as mentioned above would solve the OP's problem
since his camera has no threaded hole in the shutter button nor IR or
other remote capability. Plus the available lengths are more than
enough to meet his requirement. Locating a dealer with the item in
stock who'd ship to his location would be the primary concern since
this particular site lists prices yet doesn't appear to provide
purchase capability.



Both are right he
