I have a Canon PowerShot A75.
I would like to get a tripod to improve the pictures I take indoors from items I sell on ebay.

I often have a hard time keeping the camera steady with the long exposure times I need considering not having enough light indoors. I'd rather not use the flash because of the shadows.

I remember on old cameras I had the option of using a remote switch. I could use the flexible cable to release the shutter instead of touching the camera directly. This would help keep the camera steady.

After having this A75 camera for more than 2 years, I just realized that there was no such screw tread on the button on the camera! :confused:
How do you remotely trigger an A75? Or, is that not possible?

Thanks,
Navid

Apparently the camera has a utility (RemoteCapture Task) that allows doing that through USB.
