In his Instructable, he covers how to build a simple remote from a micro USB cable and a couple of switches.ĭon’t feel left out if you have another type of digital camera: there are plenty of ways to build a simple shutter release switch with a few simple parts, or ways to put a microcontroller in control for more sophisticated shoots. did some poking around, and found that it is pretty easy to trigger these cameras remotely, because Samsung simply moved the standard connections for half-press and full press of the shutter onto the USB socket: ground D+ (pin 3) and the camera focuses, then ground D- (pin 2) and the shutter is triggered. Their NX models, for instance, have a micro USB port rather than the more usual 2.5mm socket for triggering the camera remotely.
Samsung makes some nice cameras, but they have fallen into the trap of building proprietary controllers.
