Does this have an option to keep the shutter open without having to hold the button on the remote down?

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.

Yes, it does have that button. And the serious amateur / part-time pro photographer in our family remains very pleased with this grip.

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.

There's a setting in the cameras menu that indicates if the shutter can be released remotely. I suppose if you have that option this device can activate it.

On the left side of the camera there is a rubber cover. Open this and there are 1-3 openings.The middle one of these is the round hole where the remote shutter release goes. (p 164 of the Manual)

Yes, simply hold down the button on the controller for about 1-2 seconds and let go, but with mine I've notice that it doesn't stay locked for long especially with long exposer time lapse photos, for example: 30 second exposer over a period of an hour, it only took about 3-4 photos every time, I eventually had to babysit the shutter release and my camera to make sure it was actually taking the photos... It could be just mine that's defective... Still works great though!

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.

Yes you can, you can set your camera to bulb. The shutter will stay open until you click the button again. :)

We regret to inform you this camera doesn't have an optional remote shutter but does have a self timer mode. Full instructions for the self timer can be found in the below link. ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/camera/dmcts25/dmc-ts25_en_advanced_om.pdf#page=59

I use the remote on my D800 and have no problem with access to the controls. It makes for a bit of a tight fit related to the flash button and is close to the lens release and left dial that controls some of the settings like quality and bracketing etc. All are still accessible though. As well given I am taking remote pictures I will have the time to ensure proper settings are selected beforehand. This remote is excellent and cost-effective. Used it on safari with mirror up to minimize shake and vibration with long zooms.David

On my D810 the with the camera in "Bulb" mode, push and hold the button and after a second or two you can release the button and the shutter will stay open. Tapping the button again will close the shutter to end the exposure

The answer is no. There is no provision for a remote shutter release on the GF3

Yes, it will stay open until you press it again. It does not have good range, if you are apart the camera not further than 2 meters is OK. Good luck!!

if you mean as in to turn off or on your Camera no it does not. all it does is activate the shutter when you click it. And the shutter button lock is very handy. my friend has the Nikon brand one and I have this one and they work exactly the same.

The button locks (in fact, some times by accident) but I haven't tried long exposure modes.

You can use either shutter button! Regular shutter button when held horizontally or grip shutter button when held vertically. Both work independently of each other.

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.
