Tripod, B (Bulb) And Time Exposures - Pentax PROGRAM PLUS Manual

TRIPOD, BiBULB) AND TIME EXPOSURES
Tripod
In order to prevent large diameter lenses from interfering with proper
mounting of the camera on a tripod, insert the accessory spacer ring.
To prevent movement of the camera during long exposures, use
a tripod and cable release.
Bulb
{B)
Bulb is used to make long exposures of more than 15 seconds. Set
the shutter dial index (red line) to the "B" position, and the shutter
will remain open as long as the shutter release button is depressed.
The shutter speed LCD inside the viewfinder indicates "B". Bulb
cannot be used when the aperture ring of an A lens is set at
A (Auto). Should the "B" be set on the shutter dial, the "E" (error)
indication flickers as a warning on the shutter speed LCD.
Time Exposures
For time exposures use Pentax Cable Release Type 30 or 50 with
the shutter dial set at "B."
