The Panasonic DMW-RSL1 Remote Shutter Release Makes it easier to use the Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 & DMC-FZ50 digital Cameras on a tripod or copy st&. With this remote, there is no need to actually touch the camera when releasing the shutter thereby minimizing any camera shake, & users can work more comfortably & produce sharper telephoto & macro images. The long cable (2.5m) means that the user can step away from the camera when shooting, or place the camera in awkward positions where using the on-camera release is difficult.
