Q: Jim . . . Do you have a recommendation for a Bluetooth cable release that pairs well with the Canon
R6 and is easy to operate? Brittany Parker, Orlando, Florida
A:
I don’t use cable releases anymore for landscapes, architecture, etc. Instead, I use the self-timer built into the camera. This will simplify your life and save some money. I use the 2-second delay, and that replaces the need for a cable release because it does the exact same thing. It gives the camera time to stabilize after the shutter button is depressed and before the shutter opens and closes to take the picture. §
