Olympus C750 has a wireless one which I've never used but it's supposed to
be a 2 second lag. "Mark M" wrote in message news067d.5100$Hz.1502@fed1read04... "timm" wrote in message hlink.net...

Olympus does that so you can lower your arm after pointing it at the camera in a self portrait. Canon has wired remotes for all their DSLRs and there is no additional lag.

If so, what's the dredded "lag time" from switch close to actual fire? thanks, tim The Canon 300D has both IR and 3-wire remote on a mini stereo jack. If two wires are used (shutter, common) then there will be a tiny amount of lag for a focus check, maybe 350ms. If three wires are used (half-press, shutter, common) with an advanced half-press, then the shutter lag is only the time it takes the mirror to swing up. The IR remote has a switch for instant or 2 second delay. It acts as an open/close toggle switch in bulb mode so you don't have to hold the button down. |

A lot of times there is a delay, but some of the newer cameras have an option to eliminate the delay. Another option on some Nikons, Canons, and Olympuses (probably others too) is to be able to pictures on control from a computer via the USB cable. -- Michael Meissner email: http://www.the-meissners.org |

Nevertheless its handy for self portraits and shots where timing isn't a factor (Though even with the shutter button the lag can be intolerably long on that camera). It's also nice for browsing pictures when you're viewing them on a TV screen through the camera. Out of curiosity does anyone know if the Nikon D70 has a remote, as I'm looking to purchase one in the near future? |
