Hello again,
Thanks again for taking the time to go through this. There is clearly a lot to learn. I have now taken some measurements and below are some updated diagrams. As before the first is using the record button circuit and the second is the remote control circuit.
Some voltage...
Thank you very much for your reply. I do appreciate it must be hard reading. I am just getting to grips with all of this so thanks for taking the time to help me out.
Right so to answer your points. Both circuits work fine in isolation (by which I mean on their own - away from the optocoupler -...
As requested some diagrams. Apologies for the amateur nature of these but I hope they demonstrate the issue well enough.
Circuit 1
In this circuit I have simply added in the Octocoupler into the existing record switch. In this scenario the record function doesn't work at all.
Circuit 2

Hi,
Apologies. I didn't explain myself very well. I will post a diagram a little later (need to create it first).
In the meantime I'll just clarify how the device is setup. The old circuit is the original camcorder circuit whereby the record action is controlled by a momentary tactile switch...
