From: Jim Thompson on 17 Jun 2010 20:31 Just got an Olympus SP-800UZ. Anyone know if there's any way to do a remote shutter control with this camera? (It's owl mating season up on the hillside and I'd like to get some photos without spooking the owls.) ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I surfed Amazon and never found that.

One would think that they would have had enough brains to add WiFi or Bluetooth to it. It would work on my 550UZ though, not that I need it.

One is common, one is half-press, and one is shutter. I don't remember which is which but it's pretty easy to figure it out. It isn't necessary to activate the half-press before the shutter but doing so can reduce vibration blur. Newer Olys have USB remote control. It might not mind a long cable if you force the lower USB speed. -- I won't see Google Groups replies because I must filter them as spam |
