Photography Asked on July 26, 2020
I have a Panasconic Lumix DMC-G3 with a 175 mm lens which I need to trigger without touching the camera to reduce camera shake1.
I know of the following ways to take a photo without touching the camera, however at the moment I cannot use any of those:
Are there any DIY methods than those described above to take a photo without touching the camera?
1: My other question contains more information on the problem at hand: I’m trying to photograph comet C/2020 F3 (Neowise) by stacking images, but the results are too shaky.
The self-timer should work. If the camera is still shaking after 2 seconds, even with a big telephoto, you need a stronger tripod. Another choice is to use a separate card as a shutter. Set the camera for a 10 second exposure and hold a piece of cardboard in front of the lens. Trigger the shutter, wait 8 seconds, and take the card away.

Panasonic do have an application to help with this if your camera supports WiFi. It's called imageapp and is available for free from Play Store. You can remotely control the camera with this e.g. set shutter speed/exposure/zoom/focus/ISO etc. I've managed remote control from 20 metres. There are no hidden extras that you need to pay for. It works really well IMHO.
