Camera remote release pinout list

Canon
Fuji
Hasselblad
Nikon
Olympus
Panasonic/Lumix
Pentax
Sigma
Sony

Most DSLR and SLR cameras can be triggered remotely using a release cable. Unfortunately the connectors used for the external release have rather exotic shapes. Below you will find the pinouts for the common camera types. The standard solution consists of three wires: ground, focus and shutter. To focus the camera the focus wire has to be connected to ground. To release the camera both wires have to be connected to ground.

Canon

All Canon EOS cameras are equipped with a remote release connector. There are two types of plugs. Refer to this article for more details on the electrical data of the external trigger ports. Most types can be released by pulling down just the shutter wire.

2.5mm Jack Connector

This connector is used with:
EOS 350D, 400D, 450D, 500D, 550D, 600D, 650D, 700D, 750D, 760D,
EOS 60D, 70D, 80D,
EOS 1000D, 1100D, 1200D, 1300D.
The 60D is the first two digit camera using a jack plug. It's is a DIY friendly stereo (3 pole) 2.5 mm jack plug. It is not the standard plug used in mp3-players etc. which has a diameter of 3.5 mm! But don't worry, you can buy this smaller plug in a bigger electronics store. The 'official' remote controller with this plug sold by Canon is called RS-60 E3.

N3 Connector

This connector is used with the EOS 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 5D, 5Dmk2, 5Dmk3, 5Dmk4, 5DS, 6D, 7D, 7Dmk2 and all types of the 1D. The only way to get the connector is canibalising a cheap remote control. The 'official' remote controller with this plug sold by Canon is called RS-60 N3.

Fuji (Fujifilm)

Fuji has currently three types of wired shutter release connectors.

2.5mm Jack Plug

Some of the Fujis have the standard 2.5mm jack socket to connect the microphone. This socket also serves as a shutter release socket. The wiring is compatible with Canon and Pentax (see above) and cheap remotes designed for these brands can be used. This DIY friendly connection exists in the models:
X-T1, X-T10, X-E1, X-E2.

Fujifilm RR-80

Cameras specified to work with the Fuijfilm RR-80 remote control can be controlled using a miniUSB plug and some additional circuitry. The male miniUSB plug is offered by bigger electronic component vendors.
The images below show the wiring of an adapter cable to the standard jack plug as needed by the SmaTrig for example. the cable.

This cable works with the models:
FUJIFILM X-S1, X-E1,
FinePix HS30EXR, HS33EXR, HS25EXR, HS28EXR, HS20EXR, HS22EXR,
S205EXR, S200EXR, S100FS.

Fujifilm RR-80A

The RR-80A has a proprietary plug that will be hard to find. The only advantage compared to the RR-80 is the additional compatibility to the HS50EXR. Adapters from the RR-80 to the RR-80A plug exist and are probably the only way for DIYers to control for the HS50EXR. Compatible types:
FUJIFILM X-S1, X-E1,
FinePix HS50EXR, HS30EXR, HS33EXR, HS25EXR, HS28EXR, HS20EXR, HS22EXR,
S205EXR, S200EXR, S100FS.

Fujifilm RR-90

This is the successor of the RR-80 with the smaller microUSB plug. This plug is commonly used for charging smartphones. You can use a miniUSB-female to microUSB-male adapter to connect the older RR-80. Most probably the circuitry shown above will also work with a microUSB plug instead of the miniUSB. Compatible types:
FUJIFILM X-T1, X-T10, X-E2, X-M1, X-A2, X-A1, X100T, X30, XQ2, XQ1, FinePix S1

Hasselblad

Hasselblad uses the same 2.5mm stereo jack connector as Pentax and the smaller Canons. It fits the H, H1 H1D, H2, H2D, H3D.

Nikon

With three different types, Nikon is the unbeaten leader in inventing remote release connectors.

MC-DC1

This type fits the D70s (not D70!) and D80.

MC-DC2

This type fits the D90, D3100, D3200, D3300, D5000, D5100, D5200, D5300, D5500, D7000, D7100, D7200, D600, D610, D750 and DF. It was introduced to connect the GPS-receiver. The D90 was the first cam to appear with this new connector.

10-pin connector (MC-20, MC-22, MC-30, MC-36)

nikon 10 pin remote release connector pinout

This is the connector found in the bigger Nikon cameras like D200, D300, D700, D800, D800E, D810, D3, D3x, D4, D5, etc. Several analog cameras like the F100 use this connector too. It is also used by the Fuij S3 and S5 Pro. Nikon offers a cable called MC-22. It's an adapter cable for the round 10 pin plug ending with three banana connectors for own circuitry.

No connection...

Unfortunately the models D40 (2006), D50 (2005), D60 (2008), D70 (without s) and D3000 don't have a cable release connector. IR or USB-tethering are the only control options here.

Olympus E-system

This is the plug found on the Olympus RM-UC1 remote release. According to the Olympus web site it fits the models:
E-P1, E-P2, E-P3, E-P5, E-PM1, E-PL2, E-PL3,
E-30, the E-400 series, E-510, E-520, E620,
OM-D E-M1, E-M5, EM10, etc.

It's also compatible with the compact cameras:
XZ-1, SZ-20, SZ-30 MR, SP-565, SP-570 and SP-590.

With the OM-D E-M1 Mark 2 Olympus is switching to the simple 2.5 mm jack connector also used by Canon or Pentax (Thanks for the info Eric!). The corresponding remote control is called RM-CB2.

The plug shown above can be found on the Olympus RM-CB1 remote release. Compatible camera models are E-1, E-3, E-300 (via battery holder), E-10 and E-20.

Panasonic/Lumix

Panasonic/Lumix goes an unusual way and uses just one wire to control the focus and the shutter. As shown in the picture above, only the shaft and the first ring are used. Resistors are used to choose the function.
This connector can be found in the DMW-RS1 and DMW-RSL1 remote control from Panasonic and is compatible with the following camera models:
G1, G2, G3, G5, G6, G7, G10,
GF1,
GH1, GH2, GH3, GH4,
GX1, GX7,
FZ25, FZ30, FZ50, FZ100, FZ150, FZ200, FZ1000, etc.

My experiments showed that the more common resistor values of 33k, 3k3 and 2k2 also work. A possible wiring of the cable is shown here. Note that the grounds of the plugs are not directly connected.
If you are building the cable yourself, I recommend to recycle the 2.5mm side from a ready made cable to avoid buying and soldering the 2.5mm 4 pole plug.
Some of the Lumix cameras (e.g. G3, G6, FZ1000) have the remote plug on the right side. This is not typical and a longer cable will be needed.

Pentax

Pentax are the good guys and use the common 2.5-mm stereo jack plug. The pinout is the same as for Canon cameras (see above). Unfortunately the K-r and the K-x have no remote control socket. These models can be released per IR only.

Sigma (SD-14, SD-15)

The plug is the same like Canon, but the shutter and focus pinout is swapped. Thanks to sigma_fan for providing the info!

Sony

Sony has currently two types of connectors.

Old Minolta Connector

In the bigger models Sony uses the old Minolta connector shown below. The A77ii proved also to work with this cable.

Multi Terminal

The newer and more compact camera models use a connector similar to a micro-USB port but equipped with an additional row of contacts for extended functionality. In the image below you can see the front row and the standard USB contacts with a larger pitch in the background. The plug is about 3 mm longer than the standard micro-USB. Sony uses the same trick for their Multi interface shoe to make their own equipment and older flashes compatible.
This plug can be found in the Sony RM-VPR1 remote. It fits the models:
RX10, RX100ii, RX100iii, RX100iv,
ILCE 3000,
DSC-QX30,
DSC-HX400V,
A7, A7ii,
A5000, A6000,
SLT-A65, SLT58, etc
In the plug I analysed the ground was on the metal housing. Other sources specify the second pin as ground. The other pins have other functions like zooming, but need a special protocol.

No Connection

Several Sony models do not have a remote connector and can be controlled only with a wireless remote.

List of supported compact cameras

The website is great! congratulations for your inspiring work.

I wonder if there is any detailed list of compact cameras that support external shutter control. I am thinking about Sony, Lumix and Canon below 400 Euro.

Remote relase pin connections

Hello,
First I want to say thank you for posting this great document. I have read all of it and I like to know that using the different Cabled for different cameras do I need to connect the Shutter wire with the focus wire and then when it is shorted it will focus and then release the shutter and take the picture.
I understand that some may need battery or resistor so I am not talking about those cameras.
I am new with cameras so please forgive me if I ask some questions that might be simple to you or others.
My purpose of doing this is to make a automated picture taking wireless but I need to make the cables first, yes I understand there are many wireless in the market but I am using Arduino which will send signal at certain time and events for the camera to take the picture and I need the make the cables for my receiver to connect to the camera. I tried to just have the shutter cable connected to ground but nothing happens however when I connected the shutter and the focus wires together and then grounded them the picture was taken so my question is DO I HAVE TO CONNECT THE FOCUS AND SHUTTER TOGETHER OR NO NEED. IF NO NEED, THEN IS THERE A SPECIAL SETTING THAT I HAVE TO DO IN THE CAMERA SO BY JUST SHORTING THE SHUTTER WIRE TO GROUND WILL TAKE THE PICTURE.

I do want to thank you ahead of time for taking the time to read my email.

I look forward to your reply.

Thank you,
Sam

OLYMPUS RS30W infrared remote, wired solution: here are the details and pinout

Follow up on the RS30W remote issue (for OLYMPUS LSxx and Dyyy PCM and Camcorders):
I was pointed to an interesting article about the correct pin-out of this remote connector:
http://www.richardmudhar.com/blog/2016/10/olympus-ls10-diy-wired-remote/

Apparently one needs to pull the floating Ring1 (next to sleeve which is GND) to 1.5V for START and to GND for STOP. This voltage can be \'grabbed\' from the tip T (3.3V) and reduced by a simple 100k resistor. The Ring2 (next to tip T) is apparently not used at all?
I have not yet tried this solution, but the original author claims success with his LS10 recorder.
Hopefully this info will help others as well, because OLYMPUS is not revealing any information about the commonly used remote port, and does NOT offer a simple wire solution as they really should.

#60 - mw - 11/04/2016 - 13:01

PLEASE: 4 pin layout used by Olympus RS30W for devices like LS20-M, DM-650/-670 etc?

Olympus only offers a wireless IR remote for cam and PCM recorders.
The RS30W connects to the controlled device with a simple 2.5mm 4 prong plug.
Only START/STOP is controlled this way, and very unreliable (infrared, distance issues etc). With a hefty price tag on top, needs batteries etc, a pure nightmare.

There MUST be a way to build a simple pushbutton cable remote for this purpose, allowing for a reliable and cheap way to Start/Stop the device by cable.
I do not want to ruin my LS20-M by trial-and-error, as one prong most likely carries voltage for the IR receiver; it may(not) be used for the start/stop signal.
Olympus blocks all inquiries, FixYa does not solve it either, can you?

Opto-coupler

Hello John,

with 6k resintance, the opto-coupler is not triggered strong enough and the camera is not responding. Adjust the resistor btw the uC and the opto-coupler for a current of about 20-50 mA. This is the current the IR-LED needs to trigger the output properly. Post a link to the schematic for easier debugging.

Cheers,
Luk

home made electronic shutter release weirdness

I made a micro controlled shutter release, consisting of a micor, an optocoupler and a 2.5mm socket for the cable. Here is the weird thing: my program triggers the optocoupler fine and the output pins show that it is reducing the resistance across the output pins from effectively infinity to about 6K. Once in a while this fires the shutter but most of the time not. However, if I have my DMM attached across the socket leads to measure the resistance there, the shutter always fires on command. Is this due to some internal resistance in the DMM, and if so how much should I add to my circuit to have the same effect?

FZ1000 remote release cable

Robert,

that's interesting. Please take a look at page 85 of this document
ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/camera/om/dmc-fz1000_en_om.pdf

They explicitly specify 2.5mm for the remote socket, but 3.5mm for the mic. Are you possibly trying to connect the remote with the mic socket? Do you have this 2.5mm socket in your cam?

Regards, Luk

#53 - Luk - 02/06/2016 - 11:21

[1] Many thanks [2] Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 has 3.5mm 4 conductor receptacle - not 2.5mm

The Panasonic DMW-RS1 shutter release uses a 2.5mm 4 conductor plug that works on most Panasonic dslr cameras. However the Lumix FZ1000 camera has a 3.5mm receptacle for the shutter release. I have just now ordered an adapter plug with a 3.5mm 4 conductor male and 2.5mm 4 conductor female hoping this will work.

Sony Multiport cable providing both USB and shutter remote

Hello all,

we have a cable that offers USB and direct trigger option for Sony multiport at mobilexcopter.com

You can use use it as presumed - for camera control via USB and/or direct triggering via 3.5 mm connector.

Sony Multiport cable providing both USB and shutter remote

I've never seen such a dual purpose cable for Sony, but I like the idea. If you have the USB->Sony cable, you can try to measure which pins are used for USB. Getting the Sony plug with both options wired might be a problem.

Sony Multiport cable providing both USB and shutter remote

Is there a Sony Multiport adapter cable available which splits out both the USB and the wired remote shutter signals? This would allow using both a computer connection and the wired remote at the same time. There are of course cables for one or the other, but I can't find a "Y" splitter cable that provides both at the same time. Since all the signals are shared on this same one receptacle on the Sony cameras, you need such a Y cable to get both connections, unlike Canon or others that have a two separate receptacles for the wired remote versus USB.

Sony MultiPort trigger cable

Hi all,

I see alot of people looking for a tethered solution to trigger a Sony MultiPort / Multi terminal equipped camera..

We just released a solution two weeks ago, since we also were in need with our drone R&D project with a Sony MultiPort camera..

If the above has any interest - please come by our shop at www.skysight.eu and have a look.. :)

Sony RX100 m2

I would like to trip the shutter remotely while flying FPV. Thought it would work with my iPad app but that is only good for about 20-30ft. I'm not that bright about electronics and was hoping someone has a fix. Earlier I had purchased a sony RM-VPR1 remote but found out it needs to be tethered,
that idea is out.

remote triggering - #2

My apologies - since the last post I've done a bit of research and answered my own question - USB triggering is obviously a completely different process involving an exchange of data, rather than the simple circuit closure performed by remote cables and intervalometers. I've solved my problem by using a Raspberry Pi to communicate with the camera via USB. A bit more expensive than an MC-36, but cheaper than buying a new camera!

#41 - mike_m - 01/04/2015 - 13:54

remote triggering

I'm using an old Nikon D40 to do timelapse. I can trigger it remotely from my PC using the Mini-B USB socket on the camera; however, I would prefer to use a dedicated intervalometer if I can. So my question is, what is my PC doing when it triggers a shot on the D40 via USB - does it simply close a circuit, or is it supplying a more complex signal? If I knew, I could perhaps modify an MC-36 to do the same job.

#40 - mike_m - 01/02/2015 - 11:24

D7100

Mike,
thanks for confirming the D7100 pinout. I do not provide the color codes since I usually reverse-engineer no-name remotes. Here the colors differ from manufaturer to manufacturer.

#39 - Luk - 12/21/2014 - 21:46

The pinout guide you have for the Nikon D90, D3100, D3200, D3300, D5000, D7000, focus/shutter MC-DC2 connector ALSO applies to the Nikon D7100 - I know because I've got one and I have made up remote leads for it.

Also, the older MC-DC1 uses a different colour code to the MC-DC2. On the MC-DC1 Nikon uses Black for ground, green for focus [red on MC-DC2] and white for shutter release. Just to confuse matters, the same FOUR core cable is used in BOTH, [red or green cut off as appropriate].

Hope this helps - Mike

Remote Control for Sony cameras with \\\\\\\"Multi Terminal\\\\\\\" (since 2012)

Sony abandoned the classical 3-pin remote release port (which was found on almost all Minolta, Konica Minolta and Sony Alpha cameras since 1985 so far) in 2012. The cameras can still be released per IR remote release and be controlled via USB (tethered shooting).

Since 2012 all new Sony cameras feature a USB 2.0 HighSpeed micro B connector rather than a USB mini B or a proprietary USB connector.

On most of these new cameras, however, the USB micro B connector is not labelled \\\\\\\"USB\\\\\\\" but \\\\\\\"Multi\\\\\\\" in order to indicate that it is a special Multi Terminal connector.

This Multi Terminal connector is compatible with a standard USB micro B connector but features 10 hidden contacts carrying additional signals for:

- power
- USB
- LANC
- composite video out
- stereo audio out
- remote release

Fortunately, the old 3-pin remote release interface is available here as well. While the proprietary Multi Terminal connector is not readily available, it is possible to \\\\\\\"hack\\\\\\\" a passive remote release adapter cable utilizing a (relatively cheap: 20-25 EUR) Sony VCM-AVM1 adapter cable.

Old 3-pin remote release:

R1 (\\\\\\\"C\\\\\\\") = ground / shield -> outer ring
R2 (\\\\\\\"F\\\\\\\") = activate camera / focussing -> middle ring
R3 (\\\\\\\"S\\\\\\\") = release shutter -> center pin

New Sony Multi Terminal:

M1 VBUS (+5V in, max. 2A)
M2 USBD-
M3 USBD+
M4 USB_ID
M5 GND
--
M6 +3.1V (for LANC_DC etc.)
M7 reserved
M8 LANC_SIG
M9 reserved
M10 SELECT (resistor against M6 or M14)
M11 Audio R out / activate camera / focussing
M12 Audio L out / release shutter
M13 Composite video out
M14 GND
M15 reserved

Not all functions may be provided by all camera models.

3-pin to Multi Terminal adapter cable based on a hacked VCM-AVM1:

M11 -- middle ring (\\\\\\\"F\\\\\\\") -- R2
M12 -- center pin (\\\\\\\"S\\\\\\\") -- R3
M14 -- outer ring (\\\\\\\"GND\\\\\\\") -- R1

More details can be found in this forum thread at Minolta-Forum:

Matthias

Slight Glitch

I think the photo of the Olympus E system connector has Focus and Ground labels interchanged.

Time laps trick with motion

HI. I'm thinking if this is just a switch or connection of tow wires (ground+shutter) = bulb ... then...
The timers /auto shutter remotes those are easily available in markets are only connecting these (ground+shutter) wires after a set of intervals.
My Question is...
..i have a DC motor, that is attached with some mechanism (i made) with RAIL + MY DSLR CAMERA.. if i power that motor, this camera drags on the RAIL... is it possible if i connect the same timer as parallel connection to the camera for timelaps and the motor to drag a bit after every interval... will it be safe for camera.. because.. to switch on the motor i use power and in camera only two connector is being connected..

I hope you understand my question.
Thank you

D90 vs, D300/3100/3200/5000/5100/7000

Its worth pointing out that the orientation of the socket changed from D90 compared to all the others (D300/3100/3200/5000/5100/7000). This is only an issue if you boought a device (say, a GPS) for the D90 which has a right-angled connectore. If yu change to one of the other cameras your plug still fits but now the cable points the other way.

If you don't mind cutting the cable and re-attaching the wires the opposite way around, this can be fixed however.

if the d90 and d3100 have the same remote release pin-out.. does this mean that i can use my third-party wireless shutter remote which is connected to the gps socket on the d90, will be compatible with the d3100?

Sigma pinout (SD-14, SD-15)

Connector like Canon but signals swapped (focus with shutter). I've been looking for that in the net but no source so I bought and checked myself. Please spread the word ;)

2.5mm shutter release cables

The Pixel and Cactus V5 flash triggers also support a shutter release function, and use a 2.5mm 3 connection phono jack to plug into the flash trigger, and a camera specific cable to plug into the camera. Gadgetinfinity.com sells these cables:

The ebay sellers foto4easy and cam.plus also sell these cables.

Note, the phottix cables seem to be wired differently than the Pixel/Cactus cables. I think the Pixel/Cactus cables have the ground wire at the tip, the focus in the middle, and the fire closest to the cable, and the Phottix has it the other way around. However, be sure to test it manually yourself, no matter what cable you get.
