I want to know if it would work for bulb setting for long exposures

It is supposed to, however the unit I bought worked only for a few minutes. After that it worked only when the transmitter was a few inches from the receiver on the camera or not at all. No better than using the shutter release on the camera. I submitted a return request through Amazon. BestDeal USA responded quickly, promised me a refund and did not want the defective unit returned. A few days later I received an email saying that the total cost, including shipping had been credited to my bank account. Good Customer Service. I purchased a wired remote from Amazon, Nikon 25395 MC-DC2. It has a long cable and works great - all shutter features of the release on the camera body.

Yes it does provide for continual light however i've noticed that long usage, more than an hour or two results in a gradual dimming of the light. I'd advise getting the AC adapter if you're going to be doing any lengthy video.

Should work fine for remote release. I don't think the sx50 supports long (bulb) exposures though.

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 >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.

this product work well for low light as long as you position your light correctly. I take photo on a dress form also it should work just fine.

Yes, I tried it and it will hold the exposure as long as you want. Set the camera to bulb mode remember to cover the viewfinder when doing this. Check your owners manual (pg 100) for bulb exposures for more detail.

I just checked and see that this timer is rated for up to 8.3 amps and since a 250 watt bulb at 120 volts equates to about 2 amps, this should work well for you. Its a rugged unit which I have been using outdoors in the dusk to dawn mode with my outdoor low voltage lighting and it works very well. Obviously this unit is photoelectric and turns on automatically when its dark out so you'll have to position it properly on or near your doghouse so that the photoelectric cell can measue the outdoor light.

I use these studio lights exclusively for close-up photography. Anything you can put on a table and take pictures from 1 to 2 feet away. The quality of your pictures will depend upon the camera used. Mine takes three exposures then combines them into one. I also use the camera on a tripod because shutter speeds tend to be slow. I have upgraded to 60-watt flurescent bulbs for more light. These bulbs are a little too large for the reflectors but they work ok.

It does have a bulb mode with lock to expose for as long as you want. I've got the one for a Canon camera. If you've got the blub switch on your Nikon and a polaroid shutter release made for the Nikon camera model you have then it should work.

Not shutter speed...use the WTR to set the photo interval (duration between timed exposures). The timer can also be used to run a long-duration or "bulb" exposure, but I don't think this is what you're talking about. The manual is in Engrish. You have to translate a little.

I do not understand the validity of the inquiry. the Timer provides a source of intermittent current ...what does the bulb have to do with the process?

In my opinion, yes. We have a lamp post by the sidewalk in front of our house. I have always used 25 watt incandescent bulbs in it. It allows you to see without being obnoxiously bright. I bought one of these bulbs and installed it a few months ago, in the middle of winter in Michigan. The light is on a photo sensor and stays on all night. It is quite protected from the weather. Glass enclosure with a metal cap that screws down. So far, so good. It's working like a champ. Can't say how long it will last, but I'm happy with it at the moment.

Absolutely!!! It is a wonderful little light meter. I use mine 99.99999% of every time I shoot. I use it for my base reading then I adjust my shot to get it exactly how I want it. Just be sure that if metering in direct sunlight, not to let the sun hit directly on the diffuser globe or you'll get a false reading (personal experience). Hold your hand or something up over it to cast a shadow across it. Hope this helps and happy shooting.

Yes, but not for bulb exposure. Only exposure lengths that are available in the menu of the camera.

I've had this for quite some time; however, I only use it for a spotlight for an art exercise of shading spheres squares and triangles. I don't think I would depend on the life of a lamp for a major area that needs to be and lit, for the duration of a certain amount of time. With your needs in mind, I would get a lamp with the replaceable lighting element. Hope that helps :-).

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.

No, it does work in the bulb setting in your camera and will open and close the shutter but you have to time the exposure.
