[QUOTE="xxJaRxx, post: 154200, member: 14396"] Thanks for all the responses, I wasn't expecting so many so soon :) The connector to attach a wired shutter release would have been perfect! Bit annoying that my camera is the exception and doesn't have that feature though! I already have a [COLOR=#333333]ML-L3 and had considered hacking it, but I thought the sleep time for the camera was a lot less than 15 minutes? Is there some way to change/increase it, because I'm sure my camera goes to sleep (or at least won't respond to the [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]ML-L3) after a couple of mins? If the sleep period is 15 mins though, that should be fine. I don't think a solenoid would be needed, I imagine once open, it should be a very simple circuit inside the [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]ML-L3, with not much more than a battery, switch and IR LED (hopefully). If I do need the system to be active for over 15 mins I could quite easily ping the [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]ML-L3 and take a picture before the time is up, purely to keep the camera awake for another 15 mins. I think I will go about taking the ML-L3 apart in the next few days to see what's in there. Glad I don't have to take my camera apart! It is a planned series of shots I am looking to capture btw, in response to a sensor being tripped. I always tend to underestimate the projects I undertake though and I can see this one being a lot more complicated than I imagine atm! E.g. the camera will be left outside so will need to be fairly secure, needs waterproof housing & the ability to still take clear pictures when raining and it will be angled [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333](40 degrees maybe)[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333] upwards and so I haven't thought about what's going to happen if it ends up pointing into the sun![/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333] James [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
