Hi Eric

Okay – let me look at the scanned notes again – it’s been a while! LOL!

The Pentax remote release button is a dual function button, comprising a momentary “press and hold” function and a “slide to latch” hands-free function, implemented by just the single button.
  • The manual “press and hold” operation can be either a “half-press and hold”, or a “full press and hold” operation where the pressure is maintained manually by the operator.
  • The “slide to latch” operation opens the shutter and keeps it open, hands free, until the operator manually releases the button.
1 and 2 operation:
  • A manual half-press made a connection between 1 and 2 (multimeter bleeped).
  • Continuing on to a full manual press kept the connection made between 1 & 2 (my multimeter continued to bleep).
  • Continuing on to a “slide and lock the button” maintained the connection between 1 & 2 (my multimeter continued to bleep).
1 and 3 shorted:
  • No bleep with ½ press.
  • Bleep with full press.
  • Bleep with latch.

2 and 3 shorted:
  • No bleep with ½ press.
  • Bleep with full press.
  • Bleep with latch.

1 and 2 shorted:
  • Bleep with ½ press.
  • Bleep with full press.
  • Bleep with latch.

Cheers

Dennis
