Whichever system you use it is worth using either the inbuilt 2 or 10
second timer or a remote shutter release to commence the exposure to
minimise any camera shake from degrading the image.
An example of 2 wired
remote releases. The
one on the left is just a
basic focus/shoot device
whilst the other is a
fully featured
“intervalometer” where
the start/stop and
interval times can be
programmed. It is used
in time lapse
photography.
There are also available wireless remote releases which can be used to
fire the shutter remotely or start and stop video recording in the manual
mode. They have a range of up to 80 metres, outdoors.
A wireless remote shutter
release- the Pixl R221
These devices all plug into the mic/remote port of the camera so the use
of an external mic is not possible if you are using the remote to start and
stop video recording. Watch out for many of these receivers are
“standard” for use with other cameras. The connecting cables must be
plugged in correctly. The three contact plug to the receiver and the 4
contact plug to the camera. Install the cable the wrong way round and it
will not work!
