A bulb exposure starts when you press the shutter button completely and ends when you release the shutter button. Bulb exposures are useful when long exposure are required for night scenes, fireworks, heavenly bodies, etc. Remote Switch RS-60E3 (sold separately) is convenient since it frees you from holding down the shutter button during bulb exposures
