[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 518293, member: 13090"] It's not new, I remember this mode when taking a class using a D40 or D60, I forget which. The difference, really, is that in Bulb Mode you need to hold down the shutter button for the length of the exposure. When using Time Mode a remote (either wired, wireless) is assumed to be in use and both opens and closes the shutter. I think what's confusing everyone is that "Time" mode, really, is a kind of a sub-function of Bulb mode since to use "Time" mode the shutter speed is set to Bulb and that is what displays in the viewfinder AS shutter speed. The rest of the settings that constitute "Time" mode have to do with how/when the shutter is opened/closed, such as "Delayed Remote" or "Quick Release Remote", per the manual... Notice the verbiage in the manual assumes you are using a remote release of some kind. This, really, it the key difference. For reference, I found clarification of all this on page 46 of the [url=http://cdn-10.nikon-cdn.com/pdf/manuals/dslr/D60_en.pdf]Nikon D60 User's Manual[/url]. [/QUOTE]
