A330 BULB Setting

joheela — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 16:22:44 GMT

Anybody else had this problem? I want to take some long exposure shots on my A330. The Handbook says that I set the camero to Aperture and spin the wheel until it reaches "BULB".

It never gets to "BULB", just the lowest aperture availale lon the lens fitted.

Am I doing something wrong or is the camera faulty?

Cheers

I have cracked it, folks. By experimenting with my A330, I found that you have to use M mode and hold the Exposure Compnsation button down while turning the Control Dial- that gets you to BULB.

Hi,

I think you need to set the camera to Manual first: -

See Page 66 here: -

EDIT: I see you've cracked it - I was a bit slow!!!
