[Solved] Is there an easy solution for a plastic cap that prevents a shutter from being pressed?

loccdor · Mar 8, 2025

I've got a case for my Autocord that can be a little tight. Sometimes the shutter accidentally gets pressed. I guess I could make something to prevent that by drilling wood with an appropriate bit diameter, but are there plastic or metal caps available somewhere that could fit around the shutter button?

Doesn’t the Autocord have a shutter release lock?

The shutter cannot be released unless it is first cocked, right? Have you considered waiting to cock the shutter until just before you are certain you are going to take a photo?

Thanks, you helped me realize my mistake. I thought the lock prevented exposure when the two dots were apart, but it prevents it when they're together. Oops.
