AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the user's transition from a film camera (Eos 300) to a digital camera (Canon G3) and their interest in exploring creative photography techniques. The user is particularly interested in building a sensor that can trigger the camera using sound or light, similar to the shutter release input available in non-digital cameras. They express a desire to experiment with high-speed photography but lack knowledge on how to implement such a sensor with the G3. The conversation highlights a gap in information or support for DIY projects related to digital cameras, specifically regarding triggering mechanisms.

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?

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
