USING B (BULB) SETTING The B setting is used for making long-time exposure • to shoot fireworks, night scenes, etc. • As shown in the photo, align "B" in the shutter dial with the index (red bar). Make sure the • aperture of your SMC Pentax-A lens is set to a proper f-stop other than A. The shutter remains open as long as you keep the shutter button depressed. • The long-time exposure consumes a great amount of battery power; it will exhaust fresh batteries in about ten hours at normal tempratures. When shooting at this setting, use a sturdy tripod and as shown, also use the optional Cable Switch A or Cable Release 50 (Time exposure possible). Be sure to use the Cable Release 50 without twisting or bending it; otherwise the B-setting photography may not properly be done. Always push the head of the Release hard to release the shutter. The Cable Release 30 is not suitable for use. , co w - 4:s , cst, Val* cost 35*
