I opened up my 3.2 MP digicamera and hit a wall. Instead of a contact under the shutter release button, there's a thin metal plate with a circuit under it and a 8 wire ribbon comming from it. The selector wheel, zoom and auto-focus/shutter release are all inegrated into the ribbon. I really want to use this camera but I'm no electrical engineer and don't see an easy way out. Any suggestions? If i must, i'll try a mechanical approach to time lapse triggering but it will have to stay lightweight.
