For those who'd wanna DIY ur own remote on ur KM5D instead of spending SGD$50, its very simple.
Required:
1) 3 wires. Preferably of different colours.
2) Computer CD-ROM plastic connector clipped with scissors to turn it into a 3-head connector instead of 4-head.
3) Switch

Disclaimer:
I take no responsibility if u destroy ur camera!!! But since it worked on mine as well as several guyz here who'd DIYed their own remote, unless u're one heck of a rough chap whose speciality is Masters of Destruction, there's minimal risk of shorting and destroying ur camera.
How it works
The remote works on the simple principle of just closing a circuit to complete current flow.
- Contact P2 & P3 to achieve a half-press shutter.
- Contact P1, P2 & P3 to close the circuit and achieve a full press shutter.
Hopefully the following diagram will help you guys to do ur own remote. I'm no electrical engineer so that's the best I can do. Hopefully it gets the message across.
