ABSTRACT:
A shutter release mechanism is provided in a camera, which includes an electromagnetic circuit, in which an electric power source, an electromagnet for operating a shutter, and an actuating switch are operatively interconnected. Provided in the camera shutter release button is a coupling section, to which are selectively attachable the tip portion of a mechanical cable release and the tip portion of an electric remote control release having therein a manual operating switch. When the shutter release button is operated, or when the tip portion of the cable release is attached thereto and depressed, then a movable member provided internally of the camera is advanced so as to close the switch provided in the body of the camera, thereby mechanically operating the electro-magnetic release means. On the other hand, when the tip portion of the remote control release is attached and operated, then the electromagnetic release circuit is electrically operated by means of the manual switch provided internally of the remote control release, without mechanically operating the switch in the camera body.
