Abstract
A low-cost remote control triggering mechanism for the shutter of a camera utilizes a remote control transmitter that utilizes a pulsed light emitting diode transmitter to generate triggering pulses having a predetermined pulse width and pulse spacing. A receiver at the camera receives the pulses and utilizes filtering, threshold detection and pulse width and interval criteria to distinguish triggering pulses from ambient light sources.
