Remote shutter release for SX30 IS.

Hi, does anyone know, is there some kind of remote shutter release available for the SX30 IS.... Anything at all really, doesn't have to be fancy, as it would only be used to take pics of myself holding fish..... Many thanks for any replies.

This camera does not appear to support canon's standard remote shutter release (e.g. https://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/remote-switch-rs-60e3)

An alternative would be to use one of the self timer modes, the sx30 should support wink and fact detection modes.

You could also use the CHDK DIY remote http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/USB_Remote

These days, a  working "fact detection" mode might be really useful.
