Then that probably means you can use one of those universal programmable remotes also by either experimenting or inputting the Sony code. Gee I wonder if that will work with Minolta's IR also. Kent Gittings

Then grab one of your remote controls for your television and keep hitting all the buttons until one of them fires the shutter on your camera. From my experiment (I just wanted to say that because it sounds cool), I discovered that the Sony Remote Controllers fire the shutter on the MZ-S with the BG-10 Grip attached. The following buttons will fire the shutter: Sony TV Remote (RM0Y168 - basic remote that comes with Sony Televisions nowadays) 1) System Off Button 2) Set Remote to VTR/DVD and hold down any of the directional arrow buttons at the bottom in the circular button scheme. Sony DVD Remote (RMT-D128A - may work with other Sony DVD Remotes) 1) Any of the directional arrow buttons at the bottom in the circular button scheme. Hey... I know that your probably not going to want to lug around a TV remote when your taking pictures. But, it offers a great solution for those who want to take pictures in the comfort of their homes while watching TV! - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
