Quote: I think thats what happened in a few? so if i put on bulb and timer would that work or not? if i dont use bulb is there another option? Thank you
For exposures up to 30 seconds, there is another option - in S mode (shutter priority) set the shutter speed to the setting you want (longer settings (over a second) are signified by " after the figure). Same thing in M mode - and here, you'll be able to select the aperture you want as well. You can also use the "B" setting in M mode but you'll need a remote release to avoid camera shake. Using the ML-L3, the first press of the button opens the shutter, the second closes it again. If you have "Long Exposure Noise Reduction" switched on, don't forget that the camera will take a similar time to your exposure to complete its noise reduction.
Ive been playing with the camera and ive just found " so set it to 30.......i put a 2 sec timer on and on the first press of the button the timer comes on, but u see nothing in view finder, then after about 8 sec it opens and stays open for maybe 12 seconds........does this sound right? will try tonight when its dark! not ideal in my bedroom!! thanks for ur help
