Wireless shutter release SDQ+SDQH

Hi all

for my SD14 + sd15'th i have used wireless release for many years. But can it really be true, that i can't get that for my SDQ and the SDQH?  I have the CR-31 cable release that works fine.  I have bought a CR-31 cable between the 'old' JJC wireless system i use for the older SD's.  This works perfectly on a DPQ3 - but NOT on the SDQ/SDQH.

Has anyone solved this mystery??????

I use a wireless remote from JJC.

http://jjc.cc/index.php/Product/product_info/id/2544

It is in two parts. One is the wireless remote. The other mounts in the camera hotshoe and plugs into the shutter port on the side of the sdq.

The trick is to get the right cable. But the same device can support several camras, just switch the cable as required.

Is this the JJC wireless remote you have?

I am really sorry guys .........

I absolutely don't know the reason behind this mystery - i even borrowed a DP3Q to test earlier - with the result, that it worked on the DPQ and NOT on the SDQ's.

Today i just connected the 2 Yongnuo RF-603C II and the camera (SDQ) with the JJC Cable-I2 (CR-31 replacement) ........ AND IT JUST WORKS!!!

Sorry to ask before i tested again - the reason it was relevant again, is my focus stacking experiments (https://photos.app.goo.gl/ebfF5VEhMnfyv9MZ9) . I guess perhaps the reason that it suddenly works, could be a change in a firmware release for the cameras??

Thank you for all your replies.

Re: I am really sorry guys .........

UPDATE - i now realize what the issue was/is - during my test earlier today, i only tried manual focus.  If i switch to Auto focus on the lens, as soon as i switch on the camera, it starts auto focusing.

Even if the cable (JJC I-2) is ONLY plugged into the camera, the camera think that the release button is pressed half-way down.  THAT was what worked correctly with the DPQ and not with the SDQ!!
