How To hardwire the CANON SURE SHOT OWL PF DATE 35mm CAMERA
Revised 1/12/04
This document outlines the modification of the Canon Sure Shot Owl PF Date Camera so the shutter controls can be operated remotely. It is recommended that the following “three wire” setup be used in all cameras modified, and alternate “2 wire” setups are converted outside the camera.
Please note that following these modifications will void the camera’s warranty. No guarantee is implied or expressed in these instructions. This is my way of modifying the Canon Sure Shot Owl PF Date Camera and modifications have worked to my satisfaction. Alternate modification methods are recognized as valid alternatives.
