Remote control HDR-SR7E

[ole_kilpinen]

On my HDR-SR7E Handycam there is a remote control plug on the back. Does anybody know if and how it is possible to control the camera through that? I only want to be able to take pictures by sending a signal to the camera.

Hi "ole_kilpinen".

This was the original  Sony accessories: RM - AV2

Now there are other models (even not Sony): http://www.amazon.com/Sony-RM-AV2-Remote-Commander-Camcorders/dp/B0012GBBQS/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_0/1...

Just search!!!

Cheers...

PS

Or even this (jack): Sony.co.uk - accessories - RM-VD1

Here all accessories for your Cam: Sony.co.uk - hdr-sr7e - accessories

Thanks, but I was actually thinking of a way to control it from a computer, by sending an electric signal to the camera, but the problem is what kind of signal it should be.

Personally, I can’t try anything of these and I’m not sure if all these are “true”!!!!

But I say:

be very very careful!!!!
