no cable release

<p>How do I use a timed exposure, there is no cable release</p>

<p>Self timer?</p>

<p>Is there a remote available for it? Without knowing what camera you have, the question can only be answered with guesses.</p>

<p>Electronic release, wifi? hard to guess what camera you're talking about.</p>

<p>On the A6000, there's a delayed release available in several increments. Same on most other cameras.</p>

<p>Remote camera app and use your smartphone?</p>

<p>Are you talking about a Bulb style exposure? Different cameras have different ways of handling that.</p>

<p>If it's just remote release, the delayed exposure feature works wonderful.</p>

You have an A6000? There are electronic cable releases available. Search ebay for A6000 cable release.

<p>David, it seems that you haven't learned from your last question, we can't read your mind! Let us know what camera you're talking about and how you're using your camera, instead of a cryptic question. Do you need to wait for something to run by you, and you actually need a cable release? Do you just want to not shake your camera when taking a tripod-mounted photo? As some intrepid members have figured out from your past posting (which is just as lacking in information), you are likely asking about the a6000.</p>

<p>As everyone has already mentioned, there are a plethora of options available. I have a NEX-6. First of all, you can just set the exposure and then use the auto-timer, which will do the same thing for you as a cable release. Second, you can always buy the Sony RMT-DSLR2 remote, which from a functionality standpoint, is like a cable release on steroids. And third, but unfortunately temporarily unavailable, are the Playmemories applications. You buy them just like you would an app for your smartphone or tablet.</p>

<p>Here's an intervalometer that works on the new multi-interface port. http://sonyalphanex.blogspot.com/2014/07/wired-remote-for-sony-a7-cameras.html</p>

<p>Another option is to use a short burst and while the first frame is likely to be NBG the next frame or two will be AOK. Cable releases of the mechanical kind are ancient tech :-) Though early on I made a gadget which held a mechanical cable release over the trigger button and mounted on the accessory shoe ....but I never used it for 'real' as 10 second delay has answered my purposes mainly until recent use of burst. I also have an electronic cable release rarely used [ Panasonic with a 45ft extension lead ]</p><div></div>

<p>Gadget is a bit 'clunky' as the cable's end was broken and needed support rather than just screwing in in the usual way.</p>
