How does the camera operate?
The Pentax camera has an infrared sensor for the shutter. An infrared L.E.D. switch triggers the shutter through commands given by the autopilot. The camera fits in a universal camera box that attaches securely to the wing and held by elastics bands. The camera and camera box together weigh five ounces (145 grams). The camera box is designed to fit all recommended Pentax Optio models.
