I just hit a webpage in which it explains how to make a Remote Release Cord for Minolta and Sony S/DLSR!
In that link you will find schematic of the camera connection so to quickly make a release cord which really cost if you want to buy it in a store!

Check out:
- Minolta
- Sony
- Canon or here or here or for N3connector
- Nikon or here

Or a general PDF on how to make your own trigger or here


Basically you have to shortcircuit some pins on the camera.
You can do that by using a simple 2way switch.

Here is the pin schematics on the Sony Alpha Series

I cut one of the two side of the CD-Audio cable so to use the black 4pin female part



The other side of the cable will be attache to the switch.
It has 3 little cables, one red (1), one white (2) and one without rubber around it (3)



The switch has 3 pins (let's call them left, center and right). I soldered the (1) and (3) little cables of the cd-audio cable to the left pin of the switch and the (2) little cable to the center pin of the switch, and here is the result.



Whenever i push the button, my camera shoots!
