#145921 — shutter control

How do BT shutter control devices know how to operate the camera button?

Is there a universal command that operates all mobile phone camera buttons?

Some of them claim to be Bluetooth keyboards, and when you press the button
they send the 'Volume Up' keystroke.  That typically operates as a shutter
button in the camera app.

Or to be more precise: when the remote shutter has two buttons for iOS
and Android then it is "Volume Up" for iOS and it "Enter" for Android.

I can't answer your question but I'm impressed by the device. And only
$6. I don't take videos but I occasionally take pictures of insects and
I'm gonna get one. I wonder if I paid $2.00 more if it would change
radio stations too .  Thanks for the tip .

For a few bucks more you can also get a phone tripod out of the deal.

It seems many tripods come with that exact same shutter control button.

I wonder how much more it costs to include the girls too.

You read some of the negative shutter controls and some are so typical.
It doesn't work with one guy's phone so he calls it junk, tells everyone
not to buy it. Didn't he notice the 87% who gave it a 4 or 5.

Another guy *complains* it doesn't work  For $6, just give it to a
friend, or someone you see taking pictures. 

For some phones it just zooms.

so I guess the ones who say it doesn't work show that there is no
totally universal instruction for the shutter but it seems it's a
broadly applicable instruction .
