Thursday August 20th, 2009: It was a lazy day today, I have been trying to figure out how to have a better control over my JVC GZ-HDU7 digital video camera. Since the camera uses an Infrared remote, when I bought it last year I thought that it would work great for outdoor work, the camera has automatic or manual focus, automatic or manual night vision, it takes photos and video its 3CCD and 1080i HD and uses a harddrive so no tapes to loose.
Well a couple of problems with this camera, the sensor for the remote is of course on the front of the camera and for all of you who bowhunt with a camera know that doesn't do much for you if you are recording yourself. So I have been experimenting with Fiber Optical cable. I have been able to attach a Toslink Fiber Optic Cable to the LED on the remote and then I attached the other end in front of the sensor on the camera, WOW the response of the remote/camera is so much faster. I now have ordered the necessary proper connectors to make this work on any remote.
So if you are using a camera with a wireless remote you can do this as well.
