Snap feature on Orion Starseeker iv mount

[sandycorgi44]

Can anyone help with what this feature is supposed to do ?   And maybe how your supposed to use it?

I have a Canon 350D DSLR and have a cable which connects to both the mount and the camera, but can't figure out how to use the Snap feature ?

When I plug it in to the camera and the mount with both turned on noting seems to happen, and the instructions for the Starseker says that  "The SNAP port allows control of a DSLR camera when used with proper cable"   I think Im using the correct cable.......but no cable is mentioned with the mount instructions.

Any help appreciated

The snap feature can be programmed through the handset menus.

Hello Peter,

I forgot to mention that I had the Synscan on at the same time.

Dont want to sound silly, but when I use the synscan its usually using the arrows  for slewing......not really understanding what's meant by Programmed through the handset ?

Thanks for trying to help

The camera control menu is found under the utilities menu.

I'll need to have a look at that ........never looked at the camera control menu.
