How to use the bulb setting on the EOS Digital Rebel XT.
Solution
When bulb is set, the shutter stays open while you hold down the shutter button fully, and closes when you let go of the shutter button. This is called bulb exposure. Use bulb exposures for night scenes, fireworks, the heavens, and other subjects requiring long exposures.
Since bulb exposures may have more noise than usual, the image may look rough or grainy.

- Bulb exposures may result in grainy images due to picture noise. You can reduce noise by setting C.Fn-2 [Long exposure noise reduction] to [1: On].
- For bulb exposures, using Remote Switch RS-60E3 (optional) is recommended.
- Remote Controller RC-1/RC-5 (optional) can also be used for bulb exposures. When you press the transmit button, the exposure will start 2 sec. later. To stop the exposure, press the button again.
