julesUK 0 #1 May 21, 2004 QuoteWhen you order the biteswitch, make sure you get the one with the stereo plug! The mono plug slows down the camera considerably, since it won't "release" the shutter fully and this makes that the camera doesn't start writing to the CF card untill the buffer is full (4 pictures) Found this in a mail from back in Feb; it explains why the switch that worked fantasically with my EOS300 is not working properly with my new EOS300D, but none of the adverts I have been looking at make the distinction between stereo/mono. Anyone got any suggestions and, even better, any of them for stores in the UK? Cheers, Jules Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, Jules You can tell from the number of contacts on the plug, the stereo has two I think, and the mono only has one. I can't find images of the two different plugs, but when you order a bite switch, just indicate that you need the stereo plug version. If you don't know of any stores in the UK that carry them, contact Conceptus www.conceptusinc.com. They will let you know who's a dealer, or help you out directly.
