[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 154093, member: 12496"] Most Nikon DSLR models have a connector on them to attach a wired cable shutter release. There are different versions, and Nikon makes various shutter release cables to do this. Or there are cheapie cables on Ebay for Nikon, from which you can cut off the button and build your own cable, which is fairly easy to do. Then you just short one wire to ground to trip the shutter (half press focus is a different wire). FWIW, here is one example: [URL="http://www.scantips.com/drops/shako/shutter.html"]Shutter Cable for Stopshot[/URL] for a D70. But the D60 seems to be the exception, it does not have this connector. It only has the infrared remote, so for the D60, it appears your circuit is going to have to figure out how to squeeze that remote IR button... a solenoid maybe. [/QUOTE]
