Panasonic DCG100 /110 Camera & Remote shutter release.

[rosy]

I'm using this camera for my series of shows on my mobility scooter. The camera comes with a multi function tripod / shutter switch. This connects to the cameras female micro usb connection. I've tried to find a Panasonic remote shutter switch with a 2mtr lead., but there doesn't seem to be one available for this camera. I wondered if I bought a 2m female to male micro usb cable & used that connected to the existing tripod /shutter switch whether that may cause some damage, or not operate the 3 functions shutter / video / sleep.  Panasonic are in a Covid sleep down so I can't ask them. 

I am supposed to be able to use our Smart phone's blue tooth to connect the camera to the phone but it's a bit above my pay grade to get it to operate. Any help would be, well helpful.

Hi Rosy,

Did you install the panasonic app from Apple or Google store?

You will have to configure your camera and phone so they talk to each other using either bluetooth or wifi.

Hi Tom

Yes I did that some time ago when I was in my gimbal phase. Tried again yesterday but couldn't seem to to get the camera to tether. If I can't find an extension lead I'll give it another try. Don't know if you noticed the Burley Bee in my Mobility video post? I think it's made not far from you.? Thanks for the suggestion.

Looks interesting but I would definitely not fit in the trailer. Eugene Oregon is about 300 miles north from here. I don't travel out of the area due to pandemic and gas/petrol price. I stay "hunkered down" at least for the foreseeable future.

Hi Tom I think I used the wrong word when I said tethered, should have been paired. We had our first visitors since June when I answered your post, must have had brain fade. I took another look at the links & will follow them up later.

Cheers Rosy.

Lead arrived, tried it & it works, normal shutter action & video as per the tripod handle.
