Nikon MC-DC2 Remote Release Cord

Nikon MC-DC2 Remote Release Cord
Wired Shutter Release Cable (3.3 ft / 1.0 m) – Eliminates Camera Shake, Bulb Lock Mechanism & Broad Nikon DSLR, Mirrorless & COOLPIX Compatibility

The Nikon MC-DC2 Remote Cord is a dedicated wired remote shutter release cable designed to enhance stability, precision, and convenience across a wide variety of shooting applications. Ideal for astrophotography, long exposures, landscape photography, macro close-ups, and studio tripod setups, this cord enables you to trigger the shutter without physically touching the camera body, thereby eliminating unwanted camera shake and ensuring maximum image sharpness.

Featuring a 3.3-foot (1.0-meter) cable length, the MC-DC2 provides comfortable operating distance from the tripod or support rig. The integrated two-stage release button supports half-press activation for autofocus and exposure metering, alongside a full-press for shutter actuation. For extended exposures, the unit features an integrated shutter-release lock mechanism that holds the shutter open in Bulb (B) or Time (T) mode for long-exposure nightscapes, star trails, and light painting without requiring continuous manual pressure.
