Conventionally, as a remote control device for remotely controlling the shutter release, etc. of a camera, a light modulating pulse from a light modulating light emitting device is emitted toward a camera installed at a remote location, and the light receiving device installed on the camera emits a light modulated pulse. Devices are therefore known which receive this light modulation pulse and trigger the desired operation of the camera. This type of remote control device is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 59189/1989.
