Trigger

SWPP Photographic Glossary

In photography, a trigger refers to a device or mechanism used to release a camera’s shutter. It can be a button on the camera, a remote control, or an electronic system that activates the shutter at the desired moment.

Photographers use triggers to capture precise moments, reduce camera shake, and enable creative techniques such as long exposures or high-speed photography. Understanding how to use triggers effectively allows for sharper images and greater control over timing and composition.
