jtval 0 #1 May 6, 2005 ok I have a question. I went lookig at some digicams today and I could figure out how to figure out which ones had remote shutter release ports. since no one knew WTF i was talking about when I asked I was left in the dark. so can you explain to me what the port looks like? there was the little (kinda looked like an IPOD) symbol on a few of them but I'm not POSITIVE that that was it. also what kinda of lens is good for filming (i.E. some of them were 2.8-5.8) or something like that. if they were 3Xzoom the low number was abou 2.8. how does that translate into width of lens?My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #2 May 7, 2005 Most digital photo camera's that are not reflex camera's do not have remote shutter releases. The numbers 2.8- etc have to do with light, not with the angle of view. 2.8 is ok, 5.8 is poorer. The field of view would be a number like say 28-105, with 28 mm being the widest. Most digital pocket camera's don't go any wider then 35 mm, when you'd like 24 mm. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murrays 0 #3 May 7, 2005 The Sony digicams that have a plug in labeled "ACC" should have a remote available. The remote I bought for my old DSC S75 will zoom in and out as well as release the shutter. Don't know about other brands. Try looking through specs on the manufacturer's website.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
