Konica Minolta MAXXUM 50 - Manual (Page 45)

The optional IR Remote Control RC-3 can
be used to open and close the shutter for
bulb exposures in the remote-control
drive mode (p. 32). The delay button (1)
delays the release of the shutter for two
seconds; the flash fires four times before
the shutter opens. The release button (2)
fires the shutter without a delay; the flash
fires once before the shutter opens.
Pressing the buttons a second time ends
the exposure.

BULB EXPOSURES
Bulb exposures can be taken in the
manual-exposure mode. Bulb allows
the shutter to remain open for as long
as the shutter-release button is
pressed. The camera’s exposure
meter cannot calculate
bulb
exposures; a separate light meter is
recommended.
In manual-exposure mode, use the
control dial (1) to decrease the shutter
speed until bulb appears in the shutter-
speed display on the data panel.
Press and hold the exposure-
compensation button (2) and turn the
control dial to select the aperture.
Press and hold the shutter-release button for the duration of the
exposure.
A tripod is recommended for bulb exposures. If the light level
prevents the camera from focusing, use manual focus (p. 47).
