What are Camera Remote Controls Used For?
Digital cameras remote controls are used to release the shutter on a camera rather than the photographer pressing a button on the camera. There are two types of digital camera remote controls: cable or wireless systems. Basic cable systems have a button which connects to the camera. When the switch is pressed the camera is triggered.
The main purpose of a camera remote control is to eliminate camera shake, particularly if using a long lens. Remotes are used along with a tripod or other camera support.
Basic remote controls have a single button which lets you trigger the shutter at your command. More sophisticated and expensive remotes not only release the shutter but control zoom settings, time-interval shooting, playback and turn the LCD on and off. Some remotes even include a small, built-in LCD which displays information such as camera mode and the number of frames to be captured.
Digital camera remote controls are especially useful when taking long telephoto and close-up shots, time exposed pictures and using a bulb setting. However branded remote controls can be expensive just because they carry the name of the manufacturer.
