Description

How to set long (bulb) exposures on the EOS Digital Rebel T1i.

Solution

Set the Mode Dial to <M>.

Set the shutter speed and aperture.

  • To set BULB turn the <> dial.
  • To set the aperture, hold down the <> button and turn the <> dial.

Set the exposure and take the picture. A bulb exposure keeps the shutter open for as long as you hold down the shutter button. It can be used to photograph fireworks, etc. The elapsed exposure time will be displayed on the LCD monitor

  • Since bulb exposures produce more noise than usual, the image will look rough or grainy. You can reduce this noise by setting the [7 Custom Functions (C.Fn)] menu's [Long exp. noise reduction] to [1:Auto] or [2: On].
  • The Auto Lighting Optimizer will not work.
