Digisnap with bulb in single picture mode

lit said:

Hi,

I just got the digisnap and decided to use it for the firework
tonight!! However, I couldn't get it to work nicely with my 995
set to bulb. Once I push the shutter release button on the
digisnap, the shutter doesn't stay open. Anybody know the
technique to use any of the digisnap buttons to act like a regular
shutter release cord, i.e. the shutter stays open as long as I hold
one of the digisnap buttons.

I appreciate any comment.

Thanks,
lit

When you receive it from us, it's set so that when you press the
' ' button, it sets the camera to half-press (i.e. performs the
autofocus and exposure), and when you release the button it takes
the picture. What you want is for the shutter to open when you
press the button, and to close when you release it.

Connect the DigiSnap to a terminal, enter the camera menu, and
configure the Extended protocol option for 'Bulb'. That should do
it!

All of this is described in the manual as well. Hope that helps!
