- Principle of electric release:
-
Most of the
cameras have a shooting sequence as this:
Under the
release button, there are three connections: com,
map, obt
- when pressing half way the release
button, com and
map
are connected and the camera memorize the distance.
- when pressing fully, obt is connected,
and the camera sets the lens, and triggers the shutter.

Application
So, it is necessary
, in each camera, to identify these three connections near
the release button, and then to connect and install a plug
that can be connected from outside..
To release,
two wires only are sufficient because it is possible
to connect, after this plug, the map and obt functions.
When releasing, the contact will be done with com, which
will not impede the camera first to set the distance, the
exposure control, and then to shot.
Once the external
plug removed, the camera is working as usual.

Fabrication
Olivier Humez set the wire com
at the center of the plug. Being symmetrical, the plug doesn't
need an index.
Take 3 connectors on a bar 2.54mm step.
The female plug is set inside the camera, and the male plug
outside.
