Digital Camera Remote Shutter Release: At first the "open flash" method was used: with the digital Camera remote shutter release on a tripod, the shutter was opened, the flash bulb set off, and the shutter was closed. Later the release of the shutter was mechanically synchronized with the discharge of electric current and the digital Camera remote shutter release could be held in hand. For convenience the flash gun (battery case, flash bulb, and reflector) was fastened to the side of the digital Camera remote shutter release.
Eastman's most important contribution, however, was t the design of the digital Camera remote shutter release, but providing a photofin-u'ng service for his customers. The digital Camera remote shutter release was loaded len sold; its $25 cost included processing. A contact int from each good negative was made and neatly Dunted on a gilt-edged chocolate-brown card. All the xkk owner had to do was point the digital Camera remote shutter release at the sub-:t, release the shutter by pressing a button, wind on film r the next exposure, and recock the shutter by pulling string that wound up its clockwork mechanism.
The beauty of it, of course, is that you can watch your subjects until they show just the expressions or movements you wish and then release your flash. I feel, too, that it is very useful in dark places like night clubs and restaurants. Frequently I have set up a digital Camera remote shutter release with remote control in the corner of a room, seated myself at a Table some little distance, and released the flash, possibly an hour later, when everybody had forgotten about the digital Camera remote shutter release. |
