Camera models

This page list the camera models supported / unsupported by PkTriggerCord. This page also tries to describe the limitations, firmware requirements, or bugs of specific camera models. When possible it links to GitHub issues where more info can be found.

✔️ Camera model is supported. It is still possible that there are several smaller bugs.

✔️ 🪲 Camera model is supported, but there are serious bugs.

❓ Never tried, or tried with a very old version.

❌ Not working.

DSLR *ist series

  • *ist D

    Never tried. It's probably not working.

  • *ist DS

    It's not working.

  • *ist DS2

    Never tried. It's probably not working.

  • *ist DL2

    Never tried. It is basically the same as the Samsung GX-1L, so it's probably not working.

  • Samsung GX-1L

    It is possible to connect to the camera and read status info, but it's not possible to take pictures. Read more info here: Issue 36

DSLR K series

  • K10D ✔️

    Support is quite good, this model was also supported by the official Pentax Remote Assistant. It requires firmware 1.20 or newer (see details: Issue 23).

    This was the first supported camera model by PK-Remote the predecessor of PkTriggerCord.

  • Samsung GX-10 ✔️

    It's a renamed version of K10D, support level is the same.

  • K100D: ❌

    Not working.

  • K110D: ❌

    Not working.

  • K100D Super: ❌

    Not working.

  • K200D ✔️

    Support is quite good.

  • K20D ✔️

    Support is quite good, this model was also supported by the official Pentax Remote Assistant.

    This was the second supported camera model by PK-Remote the predecessor of PkTriggerCord.

  • Samsung GX-20 ✔️

    It's a renamed version of K20D, support level is the same.

  • K-m ✔️

    Support is quite good.

  • K2000 ✔️

    Support is quite good. US renamed version of K-m.

  • K-7 ✔️

    This model is very similar to K-x, quite good support, see the details there.

  • K-x ✔️

    Probably one of the best supported camera model with a few bugs:

    • There are image artifacts during timelapse videos if firmware 1.02 or 1.03 is used. It's better to use firmware 1.01
    • Changing shutter speed to 1/6000 is not working. It changes to 1/8 instead.
    • Cannot change ISO in M mode.
  • K-r ✔️

    This model is very similar to K-x, quite good support, see the details there.

  • K-5 ✔️

    Quite good support.

  • K-S1: ❓

    Last info is from 2017, it was not working back then. The problems were similar to K-70, so it might be better now, or maybe it would be possible to fix some of the problems.

  • K-S2: ❌

    The downloaded image has several artifacts (pink color, bad pixels) which makes it quite useless.

  • K-1: ❌

    Cannot take picture (See details: Issue 10)

  • K-70: ✔️ 🪲

    Command line interface works quite good, GUI is not really usable (Details: Issue 14)

  • KP: ❓

    Under testing.

  • K-1 II: ❓

    Need more testing, bulb might not work (See details: Issue 34)

  • K-3 II: ❓

    Lens correction has to be turned off (See details: Issue 35)

MILC K-mount

  • K-01: ✔️ 🪲

    Quite buggy, bulb is not working (See details: Issue 24)

MILC Q-mount

  • Q-10

    Not working at all, the camera does not answer to the commands.

  • Q, Q-7, Q-S1

    Never tried, most likely not working.
