Step 2Break open the mic
Be destructive, but gentle
You may not get the same model kit, so some experimentation is required.
Inside the microphone box was a tiny circuit board hooked to 4 wires. I plugged in the kit to my camera for testing. Don't worry, there' s no current in these wires. I took my knife and shorted various combinations and observed the results. I found that two are ground wires, and the other two have functions:
Red: focus
White: shutter
Copper: ground
Blue: ground
By connecting the Red to a ground, the camera focused. Wonderful news.
We will now make button to do this work for us.
