Step 2Let's Start!
You'll need a 3/32" stereo jack plug for this. It MUST be stereo if you want to be able to focus the camera using the remote. Otherwise, you'll have to unplug the remote and plug it back in to refocus.
My graphing calculator came with this cable for connecting 2 calculators together, and I figured that I would probably never need to do that, so I cut it in half and stripped the three wires inside. Make sure that none of the wires are shorted due to a cut in the insulation! You'll ruin the whole thing.
Also, before continuing, plug this jack with the stripped wires into your camera and power it up. Experiment with shorting different wires to figure out which two you have to connect to make the camera focus (if it's on autofocus) and which two have to be shorted to take the picture. One wire should be common to both of these connections. Make a note of all this!
