Pentax P5 - Using B (Bulb) Setting

USING B (Bulb) SETTING
This setting is used to make long-time exposure to
shoot night scenes, fireworks, etc. As long as you
keep the shutter button depressed, the shutter
stays open.
• Set the lens aperture to an f-stop other than A.
Turn the main switch on. Display "B" in the
LCD window by pushing the DOWN button while
pushing the mode button.
• The long-time exposure consumes a great amount
of battery power; fresh batteries will be exhausted
in about 10 hours at normal temperatures.
• When shooting at B, use a sturdy tripod, and as
shown in the photo, also use the optional Cable
Switch A or Cable Release 50.
• Be sure to use the Cable Release 50 without
twisting or bending it; otherwise it may not
function properly. Always push the head of the
Release strongly enough to release the shutter.
Do not use the Cable Release 30.
