Does this have an option so that the button can be locked so that the shutter stays open for longer than one click? I'd like to do some long exposure.

If you set the camera on "Bulb", you can press remote button and slide it forward to lock the shutter open and remain open until you disengage the lock on the remote.

Yes. Push slider on button towards top and it locks. You can leave it as long as you like. Works great.

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.

The only lock option is for shutter release, you can create long exposure by keeping it open. There is no "flash lock" function.

Yes it can. The button also locks so you don't have to hold it for long exposures

Yes, there is a way to handle this. Just depress your shutter button half way after you take your picture and it will not wait the 5 seconds between shots, it will be ready to go right away. Once you depress the shutter button half way and release the preview will disappear and you will be ready to shoot again.

No you can not do long exposure. I think the longest is 8 Sec. I wish it had longer exposure too but I Love the zoom.

Yes. You slide the tab under the switch button. You don't have to hold the button down for a long exposure.

yes. presss the release once to open the shutter, and then again to close it. This is after the shutter speed on your camera is set to "bulb", of course.

Hi Mari. Yes you can use any amount of time you like. You have to set your D5200 (or any camera) into Bulb mode. Change the camera to M for manual mode. Right after the 30-sec exposure there is another Bulb setting. Once the you can test this mode easily pressing and holding the camera button, the shutter will stay open as long as you have the button pressed. In this mode the accessory will honor all the settings you desire including over a 30 second exposure.

I've never had that problem although I do know that you really need to hold the button down until you hear the shutter click almost an old-fashioned film camera or the picture won't take. Hope you find a solution to your problem!

This remote does have a switch that you can move to a locked position which will keep your camera shutter open until you unlock the switch. That time could be as long as you want the shutter to remain open, however it does not have the capability to do what you are asking. Some DSLRs do have an automatic interval timer feature built in, like the Nikon D7100. Check your camera manual.

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.

I assume you are referring to high speed sync. The answer is no, holding the button for an extended period will work to keep the shutter open in bulb mode, but that's about the extent of its usefulness (outside of continuous exposure mode). However, if you set your camera and strobe properly for High Speed Sync, it will work properly with just an instantaneous press of the release button.

You can hold the shutter open for up to 30 minutes. Check out the live time function. It make long exposure shooting much easier.

#1: You can still use the shutter button on this. You can take a look on this site: http://gizmon.com/gizmon-ica/ #2: You can attach the gizmon lens series. Please let us know if we can help any further.

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.

If you have the camera set for a long exposure it will start that. I don't think you can hold the button like a manual cable used to do. Stay away from this one though, it is cheap, too small and easy to lose. I never did get mine to work at all, but not worth returning,

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.
