Frequently asked questions
Which cable release fits my camera?
Classic mechanical cable releases screw into a threaded socket in the shutter button, which most mechanical film cameras have. Electronic cameras from Canon, Contax, Leica R, Minolta and others use their own connector, so choose a remote made for your brand and check the model in the listing.
What is a double cable release for?
A double cable release operates two things with one press, typically the camera shutter and the automatic aperture of a lens mounted on a bellows unit. It is mainly used for macro and close-up photography.
Do electronic remotes need batteries?
Wired remotes and cable switches draw power from the camera. Infrared and radio remotes usually need their own battery, which is mentioned in the product description.
