- You don't mention what kind of Canon you have. A remote shutter release
- is available for both manual focus and EOS cameras. I recall the
- manual focus version was simply a little doodad that pressed the
- shutter release whenever you triggered the handheld remote transmitter.
- Some delay before triggering also was inserted to give you some time to
- get back into position, if needed. These may have been 3rd-party
- devices, so may work on all cameras with a threaded shutter release.
- The Elan (and I assume the EOS-10s and EOS-1, see the [great] EOS FAQ
- sheet) has remote capability built-in. I was under the impression that
- 2 flavors existed, an electronic and an IR version. Again, a delay of
- 0, 2, or 10 sec. is possible. The IR was supposedly much more
- expensive (>$100). I don't really believe that price, but haven't
- looked into it further due to a current shortage of available liquid
- assets.
