Ricoh/Pentax PENTAX CA-3 CABLE SWITCH FOR THETA S, GRII, GRIII

PENTAX CA-3 Cable Switch – Remote shutter control for RICOH THETA S, GR II, GR III

This PENTAX CA-3 cable switch lets you operate the camera shutter on compatible RICOH cameras. It provides two shutter actions—half-press and one-push—so you can trigger the shutter remotely using the camera’s USB cable and a separate AAA battery.

What this cable switch does

• Operates the camera shutter of RICOH THETA S, GR II and GR III cameras.
• Offers both half-press and one-push shutter actions.
• Requires the camera’s bundled USB cable to connect the switch to the camera.
• Requires one AAA battery, which must be purchased separately.
• Note: the half-press shutter function is not applicable to the RICOH THETA S.

How to set up and use

First, insert the USB cable that came with your camera into the cable switch. Next, install an AAA battery (sold separately) to power the switch. Then connect the other end of the USB cable to your camera and use the switch to trigger the shutter with either a single push or a half-press action where supported.

Compatibility and limitations

The switch is intended for use with RICOH THETA S, GR II and GR III cameras. While the unit supports a half-press action, that particular function does not apply when used with the RICOH THETA S. For the other listed models, the switch provides the shutter actions described above.
