If I set my camera to bulb mode, will it allow me to set the exposure to longer than 30secs?

Yes, you will be able to set the exposure longer than 30sec when the camera is in bulb mode.

When set to bulb the shutter will stay open as long as you hold the button down

Definitely. Set your exposure to bulb and then you can set whatever length you want on the remote. I've gone up to 10 minutes but it'll go longer.

Yes. You might be an astrophotographer . . . that's exactly how I use my Polaroid Shutter release and this device works flawlessly for its price.

You can set it based on the type of picture.. I have mine on burst and it takes it instantly. There are also advanced exposure settings and color preferences.

I agree with the other answers. Make sure flash is turned off! Use a small tripod to hold the camera steady and try to lengthen the exposure time in "Manual" mode. Try other setting other then automatic mode. Vary exposure times and ISO speeds. Experiment until you get what you want then write all your settings down.

It is perfectly capable of long exposure photography with simply too reasons. First it has the slowest shutter speed of 60sec but with Bulb setting it can expose unto 30mins. More important is you can see the cumulative result of your long exposure in your viewfinder...

Just tested, in manual mode, exposure locks into your desired setting. This function does not seem to be available in automatic mode, but is easily found in manual mode.

Yes. But you need a tripod. I would stay away from using bulb it shortens the life of your camera

Mine came with the program mode. It has manual controls for shutter speed (from 1/1000th of a second to 2 seconds, and Bulb mode), focusing and aperture size (f1.8-f22). The aperture size and shutter speed can also be controlled by the program if you wish. Hope this helps!

In bulb mode it holds the shutter open until the set time elapses. I think this is accomplished by keeping an electrical circuit closed for the set time.

Yes there is the option for infinite shutter actuations (ie photos taken). You can just set the interval and bulb times and then select the "infinite" tab in the app. Theoretically your camera should keep going until the batteries run out. My suggestion would be to download the app so that you can get familiar with the control settings. Overall, I'd recommend this unit very highly. Also the support people are great and got back to me immediately, so if you have questions I'm sure they'll do the same. Also with the App, there's the possibility of updating it to improve future functionality. ;-)p

Yes it works, It's cool. In Bulb mode, yes you have to keep it press to keep the shutter open. But, You can put manual mode and then chage shutter speet to 'Time' (after 30seconds) and then use this as wire relese. 1st Clic "Open", 2nd Click "Close". It's superb

On our canon, we have to set the sensitivity until the red light on top goes out prior to turning the camera on.... hope that helps.

Aloha Phi, Yes it can if you set your camera to bulb, the remote switch has a locking mechanism that slides over the switch to continuously keep the shutter open. You'll have to manually time yourself though, as no timer is built in.

I have a D300s and D800. It works the same as the normal shutter release on both. For Bulb mode exposures I like to use the MC-36 u trip the shutter to lockup and a few second later trip the timer and u can pre program how long u want the shutter to remain open. And don't have to hold the button. Automatic. I use the witless remote out to 30 seconds. The witless device works great for me.

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.

Absolutely. I often use this remote for star trail photos, where I set the camera to BULB, and the release manages the exposure. I can easily do &gt;30 second exposure, and often have left the camera and remote set up shoot a series of 5-minute exposures for as many as I need to get the desired effect, up to the limit for the remote.

Yes. Dusk to dawn is just one of the settings / functions. How it determines light availablity is that it takes a picture at a certain interval to sense light or dark. When it senses that conditions are right, it goes back to taking pics at its set interval. You can also set it to take a picture every 2 seconds or whatever your preference is 24/7. You can also set on and off times manual. Caution: I bought mine in August. I was trying to catch a thief. I set mine to take a pic at 2 sec. intervals. When I reviewed the "video," it stopped playing and froze...a glitch in the software. Luckily I kept the file. I called the company and found that my camera did not ship with the latest software version, 4.5 I think. Once I did the free update, the video played through and we caught our thief. E-mailed the stills to the state police and off they went.

On your camera increase the flash exposure compensation to what you think is correct
