SUMMARY

The discussion centers on building a high-speed sensor for the Canon G3 camera, which is an upgrade from the EOS 300. The user expresses a desire to create a custom trigger mechanism that responds to sound or light, similar to the shutter release inputs found in non-digital cameras. However, the user lacks the technical knowledge to implement this project. The conversation highlights the need for guidance on interfacing sensors with the Canon G3.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Canon G3 camera specifications
  • Basic electronics knowledge, particularly regarding voltage and signal application
  • Familiarity with sensor types and their triggering mechanisms
  • Experience with DIY electronics projects
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Canon G3 camera's shutter release input specifications
  • Learn about different types of sensors suitable for triggering cameras
  • Explore voltage requirements for interfacing sensors with digital cameras
  • Investigate DIY electronics projects focused on camera triggers
USEFUL FOR

Photography enthusiasts, DIY electronics hobbyists, and anyone interested in enhancing their Canon G3 camera with custom triggering solutions.

a few months ago i got a canon g3, upgrade from a eos 300. first stab in the digital world.

now with non digital cams you had a shutter release input, which you could build your own sensors and whatnot for, for taking high speed pics etc etc. it was pretty much a case of applying the right signal to the input, presumably a specific voltage. never really got round to doing it, because i wasnt into photography much then (you had to pay to see the results of your pics, so creativity was expensive ;))

however now I am taking loads of shots, and i'd like to play around with a sensor which i can attach to the camera, and somehow using sound/light be able to trigger the unit. i have no clue how to go about this with my g3.

anyone?
