Hi John,

Here is a simple circuit to pick a relay.

You have to scroll down to the last project. Before you do though, make sure
your software with your camera doesn't have it built in!! I have a Cannon A40
el cheapo, and to my suprise/delight, I can view, zoom, and release the shutter
from my laptop. Rigged up an extension cable, works like a charm!

Minolta already makes an IR Remote Control (Model RC-3) for that
camera. Why not just buy one?
