Hi All:

Wondering if anyone has the same issue. I cannot get the remote shutter cable to work with the Star Watcher Adventure GTi. I have tried two cables now and neither work. I would appreciate any help if someone else has faced the same issue. My camera is the Nikon Z6

Thanks all

Very frustrated

I don’t know for Nikon but with Canon cameras I believe snap cable only works in bulb mode. Maybe it’s something similar with Nikons ?

I did have the same issue back in 2023 with a NIKON Z7II. It wasn’t the cable as I tried different ones. I didn’t look too hard for a solution, as I switched to a ZWO camera controlled by ASIAIR at the start of 2024.

Bulb mode and Nikon DC2-type shutter cable should sort it.
