Olympus Evolt E510 Remote Cable Release (Version 2 with Auto Focus on Remote)

Step 1Gather Your Materials

For this project you will need:

A prepared 12 pin remote cable. Follow the Olympus Evolt E510 Remote Cable Release instructions through step 8. Then return to this Instructable to complete the release. Check ebay for cables. I have found that most Olympus cameras use the same 12 pin connector as the Evolt series.
