When in Bulb mode the Exposure time is up to you, but when i'm in Bulb mode the camera automatically shuts of at 30'' ? so i caanot do a longer exposure time. Any thoughts ?
Are you using a cable release?
Are you using a cable release?
Are you using Manual exposure mode?
Use the TIME function instead. Page 60 in the manual.
I hope you mean a wired release. Cable releases are so........... 1970's.
Yea, but the old 70's (and before) cable releases were cheap and reliable and you don't have to go out and buy a different one everytime you go a new camera.
The answer is no... Maximum, settable, exposure time is 30s.I have cable & wireless remote, but none of the above answers my first question apart from trying on time.

Well you have a choice: When in "BULB" the shutter stays open as long as you hold it down. In TIME mode, the shutter opens on the first press of the shutter button, and then closes on the second press. So it's basically the same as BULB mode except instead of holding something down to keep the shutter open, you click once to open and once to close.Thank you Horoscope Fish so to do longer use time.

As an aside you might want to investigate the various Long Exposure Noise Reduction options, if you haven't already... Just a thought.

To be clear, if using a wired remote, you can likely be in Bulb or time mode. In Bulb mode with camera displaying 'bulb', you should need to hold the button or shutter will close as soon as you release the button. If in time mode with your wired remote, it should toggle open-close with every press and not time out. If your wired remote has timer functions, this behavior might not hold true.Cheers nickt, I was using the remote, but not realising that I had to hold the button down to keep the shutter open after 30 secs + .

The thing is when using 5, 10 or 25 secs you press the remote once release your finger from the remote and then the camera takes the picture and the shutter closes on its own from the secs selected but a thirty plus exposure as you said you have to keep your finger pressed down on the remote for the shutter to stay open and closes when you release your finger.
