Description

How to set long (bulb) exposures

Solution

Use the bulb mode for exposure longer than 30 seconds like astro or night photography

Set the shooting mode to "M"

Turn the electronic input dial until "bulb" (next to 30") displays

Set the aperture value by turning the electronic input dial while pressing the manual aperture set button

  • The camera requires relatively little power in the bulb mode saving battery usage
  • Bulb operation time displays by a series of three bars and numbers from 1 to 30. Each bark mark indicates 30 seconds. Maximum exposure time display is 120 seconds (three bars and 30 seconds)

  • Use the Technical Back E to control exposure time with a period of 23 hrs. 59 mins. 59 sec. (available optionally)
  • Use a tripod, Remote Switch 60T3 and Grip GR20 (standard with the EOS 620) when taking long exposures (available optionally)
  • There is no exposure warning in the bulb mode
