Laszloimage 0 #4 June 6, 2011 Paulo, Thank you for referring to me! A few people actually asked me about these Panasonic cameras. The issue isn’t that simple, the remote triggering involves a bit more than just a switch with the 4-prong plug. The camera actually “communicates” with the remote. I might be able to make a connection for the remote control though… The only problem is the testing since I don’t own a camera like this. Anyway, if can make this happen I’ll post it. -Laszlo- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m0l 0 #6 September 3, 2011 Hi! I am not sure if this will work but JJC manufactures a so called "JJC Luxary remote" for the GF1 (search amazon and you will find it) and if you search for Ricoh GX200 on the forum you will find plans for how to modify the switch to work with a bite-switch. Howver, the plans are for the GX200 and not for GX1 but the switch looks very simmilar... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
