----- Original Message ----- From: "J. C. O'Connell" Subject: *istD and *istDS cable releases
I don't recall this subject coming up but what type of cable releases do the *istD and *istDS DSLRs take and if not standard mechanical release is there any sort of hybrid adapters that would accept a standard mechanical release yet still trigger them?
The istD uses a multipin cable attached to a small controller. The whole thing is electrical, there is no mechanical (moving parts) linkage to the camera.
I expect that if you could find a small connector that would fit the camera, it would be possible to make your own, though I would be using micro switches in the controller.
The real thing is magnificently overpriced, I paid something like $Can50.00 for an istD release. I don't have the time or interest to manufacture one, hence the spending of money.
