Photoshop doesn’t save History States parametrically. That is to say each history state is saved in RAM (or cached if RAM gets flooded) as a fully layered composite file.

DSLR Camera Remote is a must-have for remote shooting applications like high or low angles, self portraits and children. With its advanced timers it makes remote monitoring a snap. No internet connection required!
