Contax 159MM - Bulb (B) Photography; Techniques for Long Exposures

When making
photographs
of
stars,
or
other
photography
at
night
requiring long
exposure times
('1
second
or
longer),
set
the
shutter control
dial
to
"
B"
(Bulb)
In this
mode,
the
shutter
will remain
open,
and
the
film will
be
exposed for
as
long
as the
shutter
release
button
is held
depressed
In
this
case,
camera
shake
is
inevitable
with
hand-held
photography,
thus the
camera
should always be
mounted
on
a
tripod,
or
rested
on
a solid
surface
to
keep
it immobile
To f
urther
remove
any
possibility
of
camera
shake, the
Cable
Switch
(optional
accessory)
should be
connected
to the
camera
