Simple Release
Pinout has no wires, and is easily controlled via an app on your smartphone. You can snap
a picture with the volume control button, a simple click using the app, shaking your phone,
or even by simply saying “CHEEESE” with voice volume control mode.
Remote release is a popular tool used by serious photographers both outside and inside
for shooting wildlife, scenery, and studio shoots. One reason is because when you
manually press the shutter on your camera, even the steadiest of us send a small vibration
to the camera body leading to blurry pictures. With Pinout, you can capture that crisp,
beautiful shot of sunset you always wanted.
Camera setting : simple release works in all camera modes, acts as a trigger. The
shutter speed control is only effective when your camera is under bulb mode. Taking
photos by volume level, phone shake, volume button are effective in all camera
modes except bulb mode.
The way of using simple release is as follows.
Step1. Tap the left-top icon to get the feature menu
