That said, the Pentax Remote F does operate in Bulb mode. The shutter will stay open until the remote is released or the camera battery goes dead, whichever comes first. Some third party remotes do not send a continuous signal, and will never allow you to use Bulb mode. You will need a cable release to do it.
Ah, ok. Really thanks for explain so well.
As i want long exposure times, neither the F remote would help. So i guess just a Shutter cable will do the work so i wont need to be 30minutes pressing a button.
So, i guess With any compatible shutter cable it will do what i want, right? A click to open a other to close.
PS - my k100d Super hasnt Time function, just Tv and Manual, both with a max of 30seconds
Thanks!!!
