Susan Posted April 30, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 30, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I have a Digilux 2 and would like to use a shutter release cable for night time shots. Is there a facility on the body of the camera to do this, I cannot see how a cable or where a cable could be fitted? Thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted April 30, 2020 Share #2 Posted April 30, 2020 Welcome to the forum, Susan. The Digilux 2 does not take a conventional mechanical shutter release. Instead, a special electrical button-operated connector was supplied. I will check mine and post the part number. It is possible that a third-party item might be found. It connects to one of the concealed ports. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted April 30, 2020 Share #4 Posted April 30, 2020 Susan, the Leica cable release is LEICA CR-DC1. It is 90 cm long and connects to the AV OUT/REMOTE socket on the camera. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted May 19, 2020 I think I may need the ‘trigger’ too. I think I’m going to give up the night shots... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted May 19, 2020 Share #9 Posted May 19, 2020 It is difficult to see the ends of the connector. Can you post a closer view? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted May 19, 2020 Share #11 Posted May 19, 2020 This looks like an extension connector. One end should have a lockable press button. I will have a look online.

Susan Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share #14 Posted May 19, 2020 I was catching up on an article from a few years ago. 90cm includes the coil too I think...Thank you for your input. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
