Bulb (Long Exposure) Photography
In bulb photography, the shutter remains open as long as the shutter
button is held down. When you release the shutter button, the shutter will
close. Use this function when long exposures are required, such as when
shooting night shots or fireworks. Make sure the camera does not move
during exposure by using a tripod or placing it on some other steady
surface. Bulb photography can be made easier by using the release lock
function on the optional RS-60E3 remote switch.
