What accessories are available to remotely control the EVOLT E-500?
The optional RM-1 Remote Control (item #200597) can be used to remotely trigger the shutter button of the EVOLT E-500. It allows the photographer to get into the frame and be part of the shot. It can also be used for long (BULB) exposures, such as night photographs. The RM-1 is an infrared release that must be aimed at the Remote Control Receiver on the front of the camera body. The camera can be set to release the shutter immediately or two seconds after the shutter button on the remote control is pressed. The response time is set by pressing the Remote Control/Self-Timer/Drive button, located on the back of the camera above the arrow pad and just to the right of the LCD screen, and then using the control dial to select the setting. The EVOLT E-500 can also be remotely controlled from a computer using the bundled USB cable and the Camera Control feature of the optional OLYMPUS Studio application.
