Cable/Bulb release

Lincs Yellowbelly · #1 (**permalink**) 18-01-2007, 05:23 PM

Does anybody know of any Cable/bulb type releases that would fit a Finepix S9500? are there specific models that will only work for certain camera's? i'm ideally looking for something i can use around 6-7ft from the camera and all the ones i've seen are about 10inch.

Thanks

I'm not familiar with this model. I use the S7000 which has a standard thread for a normal cable release on the shutter release button.
What type does the S9500 have?

Just the standard cable release screw fitting i think

i can find a cable release that will fit it, but no long enough for what i need it for

Several places do a pneumatic release(about10ft) at a reasonable price (7-day shop?)

I have bought one of these Cable release jobs, and have just about been able to fit it at home. But tonight i needed to use it out and about and could i get it to attach, could i heck

Anybody got any tips on actually getting the things to screw in

Hello LYB,what won't screw in where?
Can you make a bracket from the tripod bush (a side on U-shape)
and clamp the end of your pneumatic release above the shutter button
Car accessory shops sell long perforated strips which could be useful
contact me if you need to I shall be here all day

The Screw end of the bulb release just won't go into the shutter button of the camera, very frustrating when you need to use it and can't get it to go on

All the reviews of the S9500 state that it has the old standard cable release thread
The pneumatic releases I have used are threaded in this way so should work
Obviously the one you have does not, check that there is no adaptor supplied.
All I can suggest otherwise is make up a bracket

Cheers Nightshade,

The only thing i can think is that the thread is damaged in the camera shutter, when i first got the bulb release it went in, but only just, now it doesn't even do that. Will get my dad to have a look at it tonight as he's good with that kind of stuff

Like you say i could make a bracket
