Can the shutter button be locked in the on position for continuous shooting?

You set the camera body on Bulb and you can set the amount of time the timer keeps the shutter open. 2-7-12 minutes, etc. which is the same as open continuously.

Yes. If the camera shutter speed is NOT set to "bulb" or similar and you lock the remote shutter in the on position, it will perform continuous shooting. However depending on the length of your exposure, a better option might be to use the timers built in delay timer, as longer exposures take more processing time.

Sorry about the late response. The answer is yes. Basically, one would push the shutter release (On the Neewer) then push up for continuous shooting. Dave.

Honestly, you can't. However, the shutter release seems to have very little drain on the batteries so unless you leave them in while storing it for a long time, it'll probably still work.

I haven't had this for some time as I switched to Nikon, but the lock should enable you to keep the shutter open for extended periods such as the old manual ones which had a screw lock you could use when you set the camera on bulb and shot star trails. Haven't done this since I was a boy. This one being electronic might work differently. Sorry I can't be more specific. I imagine you could Google it and find whatever information you need.

With the camera's mode dial in P (Program mode), press the MENU button and scroll down to the setting for continuous shooting (bottom option on the first page; the default option will actually say "Continuous" on it). From there, you can press the OK button to see the list of settings for continuous shooting, or you can rotate the horizontal command dial at the top right of the camera to scroll through the settings without actually seeing the full list, too.

There is a shutter-release lock around the edge of the release button which you can slide up to hold it in place for long exposure.

On my D810 the with the camera in "Bulb" mode, push and hold the button and after a second or two you can release the button and the shutter will stay open. Tapping the button again will close the shutter to end the exposure

Yes, the Opteka Shutter Release does have a lock out slide button to hold shutter open as long as you desire for those special shots that need extra long exposure times. While shooting last summer I was shooting lightening storms and thanks to the Opteka Shutter Release I was able to hold the shutter open for hours for tremendous lightening shots.

Haven't tried anything of an extended duration. The button can 'slide' locking the shutter open, and upon 'clicking' the control will release, closing the aperture. I would assume this would stay open as long as the juice held up in the camera.

Have you tried using the AF/AE lock button located on top of the camera just behind the shutter release? I just got this camera myself so haven't explored all the features but that button is supposed to help you track moderately fast moving subjects.

There is a button on the back of the camera body which does this - AE-L (auto exposure lock)

The on/off switch on the camera grip only controls the buttons. If you're using non-standard batteries inside the grip, you may want to consider swapping them out if you're having battery life issues.

yes, I just tried it, push button once to open the shutter, again to close the shutter camera EOS Digital Rebel XT

If you use the included cable, it does allow you to use either shutter button as you want. It also allows for A/F when pushing either button halfway down. Having to have the cable plugged in is a minor annoyance but otherwise it's awesome.

Not really. The button works two ways - you can "pulse" it with a quick press, or press a little deeper and it'll lock in the "on" position.

Yes. There the camera can be set for continuous shooting. Go to Menu. Select the Camera Icon for Shooting Menu. Select Continuous. You will need to experiment with the selections there.

You can use either shutter button one right after the other, shoot horizontal and use the release on the body, turn it vertical and use the one on the battery grip, then back to horizontal, no problems. Nothing else to do! And it works whether you're using the view finder or the Live View screen.

Yes. If you press the button and push it forward, it keeps the shutter open until you move it back again. It does not have a timer built into it though. You have to count or use a watch.
