Set Camera mode / Triggering mechanism
In this menu, the type of camera activation is selected. With the OK button the (changed) settings are
saved immediately and you return to the main menu. Currently, basically two triggering mechanisms
are supported, which can be selected using the arrow keys and selected by OK.
(1) „direct“ – Direct triggering by shorting two pins on the front of the control unit (opto). These can
be connected, for example, with an external remote shutter control unit, so that the Arduino quasi
takes over the button of the trigger. This option should be selected if e.g. the Bluetooth smartphone
trigger or any modified remote control is being used.
(2) „Canon“/“Sony“/“Pentax“/“Olympus“/“Nikon“/“Minolta“ – Infrared-Remote based on Sebastian
Setz Arduino Library multiCameraIrControl.h
Unfortunately, Sebastian Setz's project ended a while ago, so it's currently not possible to say which
camera models work and can be triggered with the implemented infrared pulses. After our research,
at least the following models are supported. However, it is very likely that other models of similar
series will work as well:
Canon EOS: 350D, 450D, 550D, 600D, 700D, M, D5 Mark II, D6, D7
Minolta: F300
Nikon: D3000, D7000, D40, D50, D80, D90
Olympus: E-3, E-300, E-410, E-510
Pentax: K10, K100D Super, K200D, K7, S1, WG-1, X5
Sony: Alpha 330, Alpha 380, Alpha 580, CX730, NEX 5N
