shutter release
Activates the exposure
A shutter release is the button or mechanism on a camera that triggers the shutter to take a photograph.
Pressing the shutter release captures the image.
The term also applies to remote devices or cables that activate the shutter without touching the camera body, reducing vibration for sharper photos: She used a cable shutter release for the long exposure.
