Well, that really doesn't answer the question...because it would simply turn when off the camera. It obviously has some way to sense that the coupler is free to rotate, other than it simply being loose. > I suspect that in order to > get the Motor-M to work when it is not mounted on a camera, you have to > turn the mounting latch to its latched position and turn the setting > switch to 1 or 2. Just a guess mind you... It will do the latch switch rotation, but I haven't been able to trigger it like the shutter release does...
