Sony A7 with Sony RM-VPR1 Wired Remote Control with Multi-Terminal Cable Atte Henriksson posted a video of his wired intervalometer hack for the Sony A7 . He uses a Sony RM-VPR1 to activate the A7's shutter by wire. He then connects the RM-VPR1 to a generic intervalometer timer and deed is done. He can now control the A7 by wire to take timelapse photography. Unfortunately there is no wiring diagram but it should be simple to find out which contacts activates the shutter signal from the RM-VPR1 and which wires are the output of the intervalometer timer.

The 1/8000 shutter speed and 50 ISO of the Sony A7r helped at times as well. The Konica 57mm played very well with the A7r per our standards. All the shots were handheld as we rarely use a tripod. The focusing, at such a shallow depth of field from the large f/1.2 aperture of the lens, was manageable on the A7r. The weight of the lens would make us think twice of walking around with it but the results are hard to argue with. The details shown at f/1.2 is remarkable even at the outer edges of the shots. 100% crop of the shot above shows great detail. Not a technically perfect shot.

Sony NEX-7 with 18-200 OSS Lens and a Wireless Flash Trigger by Litrbooh Here are a couple of videos showing the Sony NEX-7 wirelessly triggering studio flashes. The NEX-7 has a standard Sony hot shoe and with a FA-HS1AM Hot Shoe Adapter it becomes adaptable with most wireless remote flash trigger systems.
