Is there a lock on this release so I can take star trail pictures and not have to hold the shutter down?

Yes, it does and as you can see by the feedback from users, it's very well thought of. I recommend it.

Yup. First, you need to use the Manual mode to set the shutter to Bulb (in Nikon D90, Bulb is right after the 30 sec.). Next, you push the button down and forward (toward the wire); it will hold the button down. Thanks for the question. I always thought the Bulb setting is in "A" mode but I just found out it is in "M" mode.

Yes you can manually lock a file by pressing the menu button while the camera is recording

Honestly, you can't. However, the shutter release seems to have very little drain on the batteries so unless you leave them in while storing it for a long time, it'll probably still work.

The button locks (in fact, some times by accident) but I haven't tried long exposure modes.

Very. Good question. I just got my setup. It. Has two plastic locks that can be set two stop camera from sliding back or forward. I think it will help to keep things safer when the little one is around.

If you are referring to long exposure for star trails, this camera does not have a bulb setting, so it is limited to the standard shutter settings of up to 60 seconds, not a very long trail. I did see where one guy combined shots to create the trails, but with the multiple shots, the trails were dashes. If you are referring to time lapse video, this camera does have an automated feature that allows one to take photos at user specified intervals and turn them into a video at user specified frame rates. I have had fun with this feature, but I haven't done it at night.

I don't believe so- it mainly locks for long exposures, fires the shutter, etc- I'd check with the manufacturer.

It can be set either apiture or shutter priority. It has settings for night shots, and just about any thing you need.

Yes there is the option for infinite shutter actuations (ie photos taken). You can just set the interval and bulb times and then select the "infinite" tab in the app. Theoretically your camera should keep going until the batteries run out. My suggestion would be to download the app so that you can get familiar with the control settings. Overall, I'd recommend this unit very highly. Also the support people are great and got back to me immediately, so if you have questions I'm sure they'll do the same. Also with the App, there's the possibility of updating it to improve future functionality. ;-)p

There is no lock on this lens. I have not found that to be a problem. (I love the lens!)

the clear plastic part of the case is some what flexible. You can use "push" buttons but if you need to "turn" anything you are going to be out of luck. all I did was turn the camera on and off and push the shutter button so I didn't have a problem.

According to the manual, you can use cable shutter release. This item is also sold on the Panasonic website (DMW-RSL1E), on B&H;, and on Amazon. So once again the "Panasonic Team" failed to deliver. (Great cameras, hopeless customer support.)

Yes you can, you can set your camera to bulb. The shutter will stay open until you click the button again. :)

Yes, you can disable and enable it. It is a great camera, esp for close ups because of the light.

Sorry about the late response. The answer is yes. Basically, one would push the shutter release (On the Neewer) then push up for continuous shooting. Dave.

You just un clip it. You have to buy a separate lock for it. A bigger padlock like lock. A regular combo lock doesn't have a tall enough area to hook on to the trail camera.

There are small allen head set-screws on either side of the camera piece which lock the angle. You have to loosen then to move it and then tighten to lock it back.
