Bulb Exposures - Canon EOS EOS 300D Instruction Manual

Bulb Exposures

When bulb is set, the shutter is open during the time you keep pressing
the shutter button fully. Bulb is useful when a long exposure is
necessary for capturing night scenes, fireworks, the night sky, etc.
Since bulb exposures will have more noise than usual, the image will look
rough or grainy.
•
For bulb exposures, using Remote Switch RS-60E3 (optional) is
recommended.
•
Remote Controller RC-5 (optional) can also be used for bulb exposures.
When you press the transmit button, the exposure will start 2 sec. later.
To stop the exposure, press the button again.
•
With a fully-charged battery, a single bulb exposure can be as long as
about 2.5 hours.
