Olympus E-10 Remote-Cable release

Hi

I´m looking for info, on the 3 pins on the camera wich is used for cable
release.

I need to know, wich is focus, release and "ground" ?

Do anyone know if it is possible to buy the plug only for the camera, since
i don´t need the remote control itself ?

Thanks
Allan

 

I think the plug is proprietary so probably not available on it's own. I
don't have my meter at home but if you don't have a definite answer on the
pinouts by Tues I'll let you know then.
I can tell you that the wires inside are black (common), brown (focus) and
red (release) in case you are planning to cut it.

As an aside, I once adapted a similar cable for a Nikon MD-12 drive and used
a 1/8" stereo jack to adapt it to a cheap polaroid radio remote. Worked
really well.

Sounds great

Thanks

 

Ok, here's the pinout info for CB-1 cable:

3

2 1
"

As on camera socket ( " is the index notch on the bottom)

1 - brown wire, focus
2 - red wire, shutter
3 - black wire, common

Note that the release itself is a two-stage leaf-switch, so the focus
touches the common which then touches shutter, so all three are in contact
at release.
