Does this remote work for long exposure? i.e for bulb?

Don't know haven't tried it. I do have lots of problems if I'm not on top of the camera

probably not, because the remote just triggers the self timer through the infrared interface. You can't hold down the release , that would be required in bulb, then release after the desired exposure.

I've been using mine with a really low wattage LED porch light for about 2 years now. The bulb and the timer have been working fine all of this time.

It should, you can set the sensitivity level and the length of time the light stays on.

That is how it works... it has a remote for a reason.. use it to select color.. or justGive ur bulb to someone who appreciates the variety of color and go get a regular light bulb

Yes or you can just leave it on to take 30 second shots until the battery dies. There is a duration setting and an interval setting. What I do is set the duration to X and set the interval to x+5. If you set them both to X or don't give enough of a delay between the duration and the interval, your camera may still be processing the image and when the remote clicks the shutter again the camera won't be ready and you will miss that exposure.

Yes the controller works fine with continuous shots. You have to switch from single shot to continuous on the remote controlled from r it to work correctly. This controller even do long exposure as well.

Not as far as I know. Unless you set the exposure to stay open for a pre-set amount of time on the camera. Otherwise you could use "Bulb" and as long as you hold it down, it will stay open.

Although I have used the remote to trigger my camera, I have not tried the extended exposure part. The instructions do say when you activate the trigger and push it forward it will lock the shutter open for timed exposures. Sorry I haven't been able to use it more often.

Sorry---I can't answer this question regarding the unit timer, as I have mine set up for continuous use, as I have floodlights plugged into mine, which have their own built in motion detector for on/off functions & daylight off function. It has been very reliable so far, & the remote has worked flawlessly, when I wish to manually turn my floodlights on or off. Mine is mounted out of direct weather, underneath a raised porch, & the remote has worked from inside the house, through walls & floor with no problem.

Yes I do have the MC-36A Nikon Remote. I still set camera to "Bulb" function and then use the MC-36A remote for delay, time of intvl. how many shots, and time between shots. Have you tried Nikon USA?

Yes, it will work just fine. Set the lamp on the brightest position before connecting your remote.

Actually David if your shooting with a SLR you should have a bulb setting on your camera. In this mode you control the length of your exposure. The remote has a lock feature that will allow you to take long exposures.

I would say the bulb function is the closest you are going to get, but this of course requires that you have a timer to help you determine how long the shutter has been open. This remote simply takes the place of the shutter button, and all else operates as your camera does without the remote.

Well, I mainly used it on the shutter priority mode (TV mode) usually at long exposure photos. It works on landscapes and light streaking. You just have to make sure set the camera on a tripod and you can hold down the remote button to control the amount of light you want on the photo. You might have to set the driver mode to self-timer/remote control if needed.

I use a Canon 7D. This will work using the "B" (bulb) setting. I've used it for moon shots and infrared exposures - all 10 to 20 second exposures.

It works great in mine - here's a tip though.....for some reason my bulb would turn itself off every few hours when it was dark out, perhaps being triggered by some reflection of its own light. I put some pieces of masking tape over the light sensor to make it less sensitive and that fixed it, now it's on all night long but still off during the day.

It works in Bulb mode. Hit once to open the shutter and again to close it in bulb.
