I guess 36, if you count Hong Kong separately. Include Canada (lived in Canada since 1969, photos in 7 Provinces), USA (38 States), Bahamas, Dominican Republic, St. Helena. Then 13 in Europe (lived UK till 1946), 14 in Africa (lived in Kenya over 20 years), 4 in Asia - Yemen, China (inc HK), Japan. Really, this is cheating some, 'cos some of these (e.g. Libya, Japan) represent only "passing-through" ports or airports, other overnighters with a tourist trip thrown in (e.g. St Helena, Yemen, Egypt). But I DID take photos every place, some reasonably successfully from the air

Mostly wildlife, landscapes and urban scenes. Cameras from Brownie Box (1946), Ensign (Ful View), other Kodaks, Braun Paxette (1st 35mm 1954), Pentax, Rollieflex, Minolta, Nikon Coolpix (first digicam) and now I'm using Lumix G2. Also feet of 8mm (Bell & Howell), Super 8 (don't remember which), Sony handicam, and 16mm (Bolex).

Not too much serious stuff (lack the patience) - mainly amateur travel snaps and family. Most of collection in disarray, only partly digitised and catalogued (do it periodically, as the mood takes me, but I enjoy the recall and memories when I get down to it). I throw away the really bad stuff as I go, but even then it's sometimes hard to part!

Thanks northsidejoe. Good thought, but I'm afraid it didn't do the trick.

It looks like I had better try the Pixel Oppilas RW-221/L1 Wireless Shutter Release Remote Control for Panasonic, the dedicated item, as suggested by PixelStan77.

I missed that one when I was first searching.

Thanks to you both

Thanks PixelStan77

I recently acquired a Vello Freewave wireless remote shutter release (RW-C2) for use with my 7-yr old Panasonic Lumix G2. The compatibility is stated in the supporting documentation. Everything seems to work as advertised - except the shutter does not release(!)

My thoughts: Either the claim of compatibility is false or the camera is either not properly set or is at fault (how?)

Any experience and fix out there? Have I missed something?
