Does the cable have shutter locking ability, i.e. for long-exposure shots?

Yes, but as I wrote, I would not recommend this item. For 10 dollars more, buy the Canon one!

Hi,I've use this shutter release a few time and for the price it's a great buy. Yes is has a locking ability. Cord is long enough that you can move away from camera/tripod so you don't bump it.

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.

Yes it does, exactly as Alice described it. I use it to take long exposure night photos.

I have been using this with the D5200 since I purchased it in July along with two identical batteries (saved the original as a spare). I have used it with and without the cord, it has only gotten in the way once in the months I have been using it, otherwise it has not been a problem. However, if I am not intending to use the grip shutter, and only use the dual battery power, I take off the cord so that it will not be in my way. Generally when you are using the grip shutter, you are rotating the cable to the down position and it is not a problem.

I don't know about the shutter release cable but, I use the anti-shake setting along with the small or large tri-pod when I am taking a more formal picture. be sure to set the anti-shake setting whenever you zoom out or whenever you're taking field pics. I hope this helps?

Not that we're aware of. We just recently bought the camera and haven't used it much. It does have a time-delayed option -- as in setting up the camera for a shot and joining in the picture. But not a time-elapsed feature that we know of. cj

Yes, the cable does plug into the remote shudder release socket so that the release button on the grip will work. The camera will function normally with it unplugged.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about time lapse photos. Frankly, I did not realize it had a timeout setting that cannot be over-ridden. My use of this has been purely as a wireless shutter release cable doing product photography. Will merely taking a shot before the 15 minute timeout reset the timer for another 15 minutes?

There is no lock on this lens. I have not found that to be a problem. (I love the lens!)

you will need to go to canon.com and find the online manual for your particular model. IF it supports a wireless remote shutter release, then i would venture to say yes. otherwise, i seriously doubt it. however, i would expect that your camera does have the ability for a cable shutter release, which also allows you to not touch the camera while you take the pic, which also prevents camera shake. personally, i prefer the cable release. it's more reliable.

Yes when set on a high shutter speed and the camera is set on continuous shooting..

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

Yes you can manually lock a file by pressing the menu button while the camera is recording

Yes you can attach a security cable to this camera. I use: Master Lock 8417D Python Adjustable Locking Cable, 6-Foot

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.

No shutter button. It's just an extendable rod that screws into any standard tripod mount.

Yes, there is a remote (cable) shutter release, it's called the Fuji RR-90. I don't own one. Online, you can also find third part wireless models. Macro mode - I have the stock lens. The macro mode is good. I've been very happy with the camera, especially the styling.

Yes, the shutter cable is compatible with the Canon 5DMk3. I have used it with success. It is also long enough to have slack when the tripod pivots.

Yes, but you'll need to take your hand out of the strap if you want to use the shutter on the vertical grip. I just keep my hand strapped in and use the camera's shutter button when I'm out and about and using this strap. I use the grip for the extra battery and only use the grip's shutter when I'm shooting indoors or using my BlackRapid strap for security.
