The switch has a 80cm long cable. Have measured, as it affects shorter. The switch is expressed somewhat toy-like - is so cheap. But it works flawlessly on the 650D EOS 550D and the EOS. Bought G16, where can be a little hard push in the cable, but it works for the way the PowerShot. For a tripod so well suited. Thus camera shake at Trick (series) can be avoided recordings.
