It works in Bulb mode. Hit once to open the shutter and again to close it in bulb.

Yes, you can. You trip it to open the shutter and when you are ready you trip it to close the shutter....

If I remember correctly (mine bit the bullet) there is no limit as long as you're in bulb and you time it yourself. This has very few options and my experience initially was okay until provided batteries leaked everywhere inside and unit was not repairable. I've had great luck with this model however and it is way more flexible and programmable, not to mention less expensive!

The lock button is used when you have your camera in manual mode, using the "bulb" function. That means when the camera is set to this function and the button is locked, the shutter while stay open for as long as the button is locked, or the abilities of the camera are reached. This is usually done when taking longer exposures in low light, or astrophotography. If you have ever seen a picture of a stream where everything is clear except the water seems to be blurred in motion, this is how that is done.

As someone who does not use studio lights, I am afraid that I cannot adequately answer this question other than to second a previous suggestion and use the self-timer on the camera.

No, it just duplicates the functions on the shutter button. So, you can set the camera's exposure to "bulb", and use the remote to open and close your shutter (and if you shoot in mirror up mode you'll get even less jiggle), but you'll still have to watch a clock to determine when to release the button and close the shutter. I'm not aware of a remote with an integrated timer.

you should have a battery operated fob which turns it on and off by activating the value inside the exhaust tips. on means the shutter is closed and off means the valve is open

In bulb mode it holds the shutter open until the set time elapses. I think this is accomplished by keeping an electrical circuit closed for the set time.

Hi Mari. Yes you can use any amount of time you like. You have to set your D5200 (or any camera) into Bulb mode. Change the camera to M for manual mode. Right after the 30-sec exposure there is another Bulb setting. Once the you can test this mode easily pressing and holding the camera button, the shutter will stay open as long as you have the button pressed. In this mode the accessory will honor all the settings you desire including over a 30 second exposure.

The adapter has no on/off switch,but we can also save the power. Generally the camera has auto-off function,the power will be shut down while the shutter closed without operation in 30 second or 1 minutes acquiescently.When sharing photo, you should set the time longer from auto-off.

Yes, I tried it and it will hold the exposure as long as you want. Set the camera to bulb mode remember to cover the viewfinder when doing this. Check your owners manual (pg 100) for bulb exposures for more detail.

There's a setting in the cameras menu that indicates if the shutter can be released remotely. I suppose if you have that option this device can activate it.

There are 4 settings. Bulb, Delay, Interval, Number and a sound setting. So, yes you could. You would set your camera's shutter speed to 1 sec as well as the proper aperture and ISO settings. Then you would set the interval function on the remote to 3 seconds, and the number function on the remote to 100. These are great for time-lapse photography. Good Luck!

Yes it sure does works in bulb mode. Just set camera to bulb, press shutter button to the shutter release cable and lock it.

I would recommend using this remote trigger to start the camera's built in timer for a couple of reasons, 1. It will give you time to hide the remote. 2. It shouldn't interfere with the operation of your other triggers because it may be on a different frequency, as mentioned before.

If you set the camera on "Bulb", you can press remote button and slide it forward to lock the shutter open and remain open until you disengage the lock on the remote.

This remote does have a switch that you can move to a locked position which will keep your camera shutter open until you unlock the switch. That time could be as long as you want the shutter to remain open, however it does not have the capability to do what you are asking. Some DSLRs do have an automatic interval timer feature built in, like the Nikon D7100. Check your camera manual.

Depends on the camera. If the camera has WiFi and communicates with a smartphone, use the smartphone app. If the camera has a cable shutter release, use that. If the camera only has an IR remote, that could be a problem. Otherwise, use the timer.
