From plenty of googling it’s only described as a basic shutter release cable that uses pin 1 and 4 on the hand controller multi purpose port. Am I missing something?
P.s I know most people are going to suggest hooking up to a laptop and using BYE or similar to control the camera, this is not what I want to do right now. I just need a wiring diagram for the shutter release cable to connect to the multi purpose port on my synscan
Thanks in advance  |
No, I won't suggest a laptop, as that's not what you wanted and by all means sus-out the Synscan shutter release, but you could much more easily go for a intervalometer to use as a remote shutter release. Additionally it would provide you with the ability to take
multiple timed expossures of greater than 30 seconds. There are several types on eBay for around $15-30. Just check compatibility with your DSLR (both by checking the eBay listing
AND by specific question seeking confirmation from the vendor.)
