NEX Intervalometer via MP3 Player



A Russian blog, habrahabr.ru, has posted an very interesting DIY intervalometer remote for the Sony NEX-5. The intervalometer uses an MP3 player which has an infrared dongle to transmit the shutter command for the NEX-5. Remember that only the NEX-5, which has an IR receiver, can use a remote to control the shutter.

You can then modify the MP3 file to create an intervalometer out of the MP3 player by adding gaps between the shutter release signal.

Create an IR transmitter for your MP3 player. Set the NEX-5 to remote shutter mode. Play the MP3 file and the shutter of the NEX fires.

We have not tested it. Check out habrahabr.ru for full instructions.
