That is stated in the manual. My old wired remote keeps the camera in bulb mode if that is what was selected, I need to hold the button on the remote to keep the shutter open. So if your wired remote is keeping the shutter open without holding any buttons and the camera still says 'bulb', then there must be a timer function built into your remote keeping the shutter open. Look there for a problem. If the camera shows --, then you are in time mode and it shouldn't quit at 30 seconds. If you are using the ml-l3 remote and set to bulb or time, you are in time mode regardless and it should not quit. If it does, I don't know why. Maybe low camera battery, but that should be a more random shutdown rather than 30 seconds.</blockquote>
