Fit a short cable release
(obtainable from any
good dealer) into the
screwed portion of the
camera's Shutter
Release Button [3].
Depress the cable
release and the shutter
will stay open until
pressure is released.
Some cable releases
have a screw lock which
avoids the need for holding
it during a lengthy exposure.
If you do not have a
cable release depress
the cameras Shutter
Release Button until the
shutter opens and turn it
fully anti-clockwise tothe
T” position. The shutter
will remain open until the
button is returned to the
normal position. We
recommend the use of a
cable release where
possible
as
this
will
reduce the chance of
"camera shake” during
the exposure.
IMPORTANT — Do not leave the
Shutter Release locked in the "T"
position longer than necessary in
order to minimise battery drain.
