Remote shutter release for SX40 HS?

Are there any available shutter releases, wireless or otherwise, that will work with the SX40 HS? Not having much luck finding anything that is not for a DSLR.

Only with CHDK. It will allow you to use a powered USB remote.

Thanks PapaGary, been looking for a good reason to install CHDK and just did. It looks like the easiest solution (since I don't like building electronics) is the Ricoh CA-1. The video was helpful but I can't tell if I can get half a shutter push and a full shutter push with the emergency charger. Sometimes the cam will focus on an unitended subject and I will need to release the half push without taking the photo to reframe my shot. I am not sure the emergency charger will allow this.

Nevermind, just found my own answer in the Wikia you already provided. It looks like the emergency charger will work provided options are set up properly in CHDK. Very helpful, thanks.

FYI, as a follow up for anyone else wanting to do this, the solution proposed above (CHDK paired with the Ricoh CA-1) works FLAWLESSLEY! Exactly what I was looking for. CHDK provides quite a few features to my SX40 that makes it perform much more like a DSLR.

One thing to note, with the remote enabled in CHDK, the USB cord that allowed your computer to automatically detect your cam and open zoombrowser upon connection will not function as before. You must simply go into the CHDK menu and disable the remote. This makes sense as it has changed the properties of the mini USB port for the function of the remote. While this is a minor inconvenience, it is far outweighed by the functionality of a good remote shutter release.

I'm glad I was able to help. FWIW- I never have used the USB cable to transfer images to my PC. I just pop the SD card into the SD card slot on my computer.

Enjoy.
