Pixel Ontspankabel RC-201/DC2 For Nikon

Pixel Ontspankabel RC-201/DC2 For Nikon: Release the shutter from a distance

Reaching the camera to press its shutter can disturb a carefully arranged frame. The Pixel Ontspankabel RC-201/DC2 For Nikon is a wired remote release with a 110 cm cable, putting the shutter control away from the camera body. It’s for Nikon camera owners who want to trigger the shutter from a short distance, rather than touch the camera for each exposure. The button has a half-press position for focusing and a full press to take the picture. Its lock function also supports continuous shooting or keeping the shutter open, provided the camera is set for the relevant operation. That covers hands-off framing, a run of consecutive frames and long exposures that need the shutter to remain open. The DC2 lead is attached to the remote, so the cable isn’t interchangeable. That’s worth bearing in mind if you need to swap cable types.

Remote Release Highlights

• 110 cm cable: The remote control is connected to the camera by a 110 cm lead. You can trigger the shutter from a short distance instead of pressing the camera’s own release.
• Two-stage button: Press the button halfway to focus, then press it fully to take the photograph. The separate stages give you direct control over focusing and shutter release from the remote.
• Lock function: The button can be locked in position. This is useful for continuous shooting or for keeping the shutter open, according to the camera’s settings.
• Wired operation: The DC2 cable connects the remote to the camera, so the release works through a physical connection rather than a wireless link.
• Attached DC2 lead: The cable is fixed to the remote control. There’s no cable swap to manage, though you can’t replace it with a different cable type.

Good to know

This release is listed for the Nikon D90, D5000, D7000, D3100 and D5100. The DC2 cable is permanently attached to the RC-201, so it cannot be changed to suit a different connection. The supported camera list is specific: match your camera model to one of the models above before choosing this remote.
