How to hardwire the Sony DSC-S600 Digital Camera

This document covers in detail how to modify the Sony DSC-S600 digital camera for remote shutter control from the

PixController Universal or LE camera control board. Please see http://www.pixcontroller.com or email

support@pixcontroller.com for more information.

Please note that if you make this modification to your Sony camera that you will void your

camera’s warranty. This modification can also result in damage to your digital camera if

you do not follow the instructions properly.

Tools/Parts Needed

1. 2.4 mm #0 Philips Screwdriver & Small Flat Blade Screwdriver.

2. Fine tipped soldering iron with heat control.

3. 30 Gauge wire. Wire Wrap type wire can be purchased from your local Radio Shack store. Find one of the 3

part numbers: 278-501, 278-502, 278-503. They come in a spool of 50 feet of wire for $2.99

4. Small tweezers.

5. Flat blade screw driver or knife.

6. PixController Universal board with Sony S40-U PIC chip, or LE board with LE II PIC chip (Use the Sony DSC-

S40 mode for the DSC-S600 camera)

Remove batteries and media card

Before starting your project be sure to remove the 2 AA internal

batteries and the Media Card.

Remove the 2 AA batteries and Media Card

Remove the camera case screws

Remove all 4 screws from the camera case. Be sure to

place the screws in a safe place while modifying the

camera.

Remove screws 1,and 2 from the bottom of the camera case.

Remove screw 3 from under the USB connector door.

Remove screw 4 from under the battery door.

Remove the case

Carefully remove the back of the camera case from

the camera exposing the interior electronics. Next,

remove the front of the camera case. This is a little

harder to remove, but take your time and unsnap all

of the hinges. The front of the case will be attached

with a small ribbon cable, so take care as not to

handle this too hard or damage the ribbon cable.

Adding some tape…

Before you go any further you need to add some

masking tape or scotch tape as shown in Figure 1

and Figure 2.

In Figure you 1 need to add some tape to hold the

LCD screen in place during the camera

modifications. If you do not add this the LCD will fall

out and can be damaged.

In Figure 2 you need to add the tape here to mask

off the flash contact points. If you do not add this

tape and touch these contact points you will be

shocked.

Be sure to remove this tape when closing the

case back up after your modification is finished.

Figure 2

Remove the shutter board screw

Next remove the shutter board screw as shown and

carefully lift the shutter board and plastic housing

from the camera.

Remove Shutter Board

Next carefully turn the shutter board plastic housing

upside down and remove the tabs holding the shutter

board to the plastic housing as shown.

Lift out the shutter board and turn upright.

Locating the Shutter/Power/Common Contacts

The PixController board contact points are shown in

Figure 3. These are the locations where you will

solder your small gauge wire and will be connected

to your PixController board.

You will need a fine tipped soldering iron in order to

perform this task. You may need to remove some of

the fine plastic covering around the Power On/Off

and Common contacts with a tool like and Exacto

Knife.

Figure 3

Add the wires…

Add the small gauge wires as shown in Figure 4

Figure 4

Route the wires

Put the shutter board back into the plastic housing

and screw the housing back to the camera. Twist

the wires into a small cable and route the cable

around the LCD display as shown in Figure 5.

Secure the cable to the bottom with some tape.

From here you can drill a hole in the bottom of the

case and export the cable there, or add a 2.5mm

female connector inside of the tri pod port, or even

add a 3-wire servo connector. We leave this up to

the person who does the modification since this is

a personal preference.

Figure 5

Re-attach case and replace the screws

Once you are complete with this process place

the camera case back together and replace the

camera case screws.

Attaching the Sony S40 to the PixController LE

Board and Universal Board

1. Wiring your S40 camera to the PixController

LE board.

Connect the following wires to your LE board:

Shutter – Shutter on LE, J2-1

Ground – Ground on LE, J2-2

Power – Refresh on LE, J2-3

Last, remove the R17 resistor from the LE board,

see: http://www.pixcontroller.com/PixLE

/PixLE_ResistorRemoval.htm

2. Wiring your S40 camera to the PixController

Universal board.

Connect the following wires to your Universal

board:

Shutter – Shutter, J14-1, or Phone Cable Shutter

Wire

Ground – Ground, J14-7, or Phone Cable Ground

Wire

Power – Power, J14-3, or Phone Cable Power

Zoom Lens issue

Because of the zoom lens on the Sony S600

this can be an issue to get a good seal between

the camera lens and the case as to not get flash

bleed during night photos.

Figure 6 shows a simple solution to this problem

by adding 3 of the Large Flash Masking

Washers sold on the www.pixcontorller.com web

site under the camera accessories. These 3

washers can be easily glued together using

Marine GOOP.

Building a trail camera

In the photos below, Figure 7 and Figure 8 we show a completed trail camera system using a camo dipped Pelican

1020 case (note: Pelican will be selling Pelican 1020 and 1040 camo dipped cases in a Mossy Oak pattern in 2006).

In this example we are using a PixController LE board with the LE II PIC chip in Sony S40 mode. The Sony S40 board

setting are the same for the Sony DSC-S600 (both in the LE and Universal PixController boards). This layout uses a

9V battery holder w/ on-off switch, which can be purchased from the www.pixcontroller.com web site.

Figure 7

Figure 8

Camera Setting

We suggest the following Sony DSC-S600 setting for maximum trail camera performance:

•Red Eye Reduction: Off

•AF Illuminator: Off

•Auto Review: Off

•Beep: Off

•Set your Date/Time

•Setup Camera in “Program Mode”

•ISO 1000 (brightest night photos)

•Picture Quality: Fine

The shutter time from PIR motion event is under 2 seconds for this camera, and if setup in ISO 1000 mode you will

get a flash range beyond 40 feet.
