I did some searching, and found that, for the E-XXX cameras, the remotes
connect to the same camera outlet used for USB connections. This is a
multi-pin connector that can accept plugs for different purposes. The only
problem with the wired releases is that they are all less than 3 feet in
length.
The RC releases use a receiver that connects to this same connector, with a
short wire that allows the receiver to be supported by the camera or tripod
(easily taped to a tripod leg). This would allow me to place the
camera/tripod assembly close to the action, and trip the shutter from a safe
distance, so as not to spook the birds, insects, etc. I may look into one
of these.
The E-1 uses a different, round connector for a remote cable, hence is not
compatible with the later devices.
