If the remote shutter cable is not available, you may
instead use the self-timer (as previously described in
the manual) to trip the shutter without touching or
jarring the camera. However, the timer will not allow
you to take a photo at the exact moment you choose,
as the remote cable will.
REMOTE SHUTTER CABLE
Whenever possible, using the included remote shutter release cable is recommended to
avoid accidentally jarring the camera when the SNAP button is pressed. Due to the high
magnification of the camera, any motion when the shutter is open can result in photos
with a blurred or shaky appearance. The remote cable is plugged into the jack on the
bottom of the camera pod as shown below. Pressing the button on the remote will then
take a photo, just as if SNAP was pressed.
