The camera is connected to the receiver by a cable. This receiver is attached to the camera by attachment to the flash shoe, and can itself be operated manually. However the wireless remote shutter release will also operate the receiver at a distance of up to 150metres, and through glass, doors and walls.
This makes it ideal for use in photographing shy birds and animals. The camera can be set up on a tripod with attachments as detailed above, set on manual focus on a feeder for example; the shy bird uses the feeder; I remain out of site (and warm) indoors, press the wireless release and - the camera shutter is released on camera and a photo is taken.
The images below show the set up I have used in more detail:
This shows the set up of the camera which is focused on the peanut feeder.
This is a closer image. The item circled in red is the receiver, that in yellow shows where the cable links via a USB port to the camera.
Again a closer image of the camera and receiver.
(The 3 photos above were taken using Olympus C-765 Ultra Zoom Digital Camera.)
