Hi
[ have tried ebay and Amazon , but it seems they only do remote wireless shutter release.
I am looking for a manual cable shutter release.
I made contact with the Nikon help line , but Nikon do not do a manual cable shutter release yet, Guess I will have to wait until one becomes available.
Thanks for the interest
Cheers

I'm not familiar with the details of that camera, but with the P1000 just introduced, Nikon's efforts will be aimed at that. Maybe both cameras share connection ports. I see they both use a micro USB (Type D).

It looks like no one is making a wired remote. I don't know why manufacturers have to keep changing their connection points. My Nikons have three different size USB connections. I'm guessing you could find an adapter to connect one the available wired remotes to the P900.

Hi Jerry
Yes I think a manual cord release is not available yet
I will have to try a wireless release or delay exposure.
Using the large zoom on the P900 on certain subjects at the top of zoom range you need to use a tripod and not depress shutter by hand.
I will have a go at wireless release
I have not had the P900 that long so still getting use to it.
Thanks
John

If I understand the purpose of this request:
You can simply use the self-timer to avoid the problem.

John, I just did a search for what you're looking for, and wasn't able to find anything. B&H has one for "select" Nikon Coolpix cameras, but it doesn't say which ones. What I did come up with is that you can control the camera with your smart phone, if that might work for you.

I have a P900 and there is no place to attach a cable release. I use a remote and it works fine.

Manual, or conventional cable release, that screw into the center of the shutter release button, are sold at the buggy whip store. Don't hold your breath.

How are you going to attach it? You need one of those electronic releases that plug in on the side of your camera.

There is no connection point. I have a P900 and use a remote quite successfully
