SL3 users - have you been able to use remote shutter release port?

It seems to be a mini port of some kind. Very little info on it in the manual. I was hoping to hook up a lightning trigger device to it, but I'm getting nowhere (so far) with my research.

There's a thread about this here:

https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/418790-cable-remote-for-sl3/

...which suggests some independent options, but this seems to be the Leica product:

https://leica-camera.com/en-US/photography/accessories/remotes/remote-release-cable-rc-scl-6

The Leica page only mentions compatibility with the SL2 models, but B&H states it works on the SL3 series as well:

...a bargain at just $215.

You're right. I was misled by the indentation.

That's great! Thanks! But...which port do you stick it into? The mic port or the headphones port?

That's a good question. The manual doesn't seem to cover wired remote operation at all, but the diagram on page 29 has a part designated number 38 which points to both the microphone and headphone sockets. As the remote only has one plug I presume this means that you can use either, but to be on the safe side I suggest contacting Leica for confirmation.

yes, you can use either one, once you plug it in it will detect it is a remote cable.

BTW, I use any of the Panasonic versions plus an adapter 2.5mm Female to 3.5 mm like this on Amazon. https://a.co/d/hYtIFdM
