Advise sought about remote operation of camera
In order to photograph a bird, I want to set up a camera, then operate it
(press the shutter is all I need) from about 15 metres away. The camera must be able to wait in a 'ready to shoot' mode for possibly many hours. What choices are out there? Infra-red seems to have a maximum range of about 5 metres. -- Remove REDS to achieve successful communication |

Advise sought about remote operation of camera
Hi Dan
You don't say what camera you have but if it's a 'run 'o' mill' autofocus camera like a canon, then you can buy a short remote release, and cut into the short section of wire. Add 10 metres or so (works out a lot cheaper than a long remote release). There are usually three wires that will both fire the camera and work the autofocus. Match the wires and you're sorted. I would turn the autofocus off for this type of photography.
