longer than 30 sec

[cereyrunyon]

I was able to take long exposures with my Nikon 810, now i acn only take timed exposures up to 30 sec-- i must have changed a setting somewhere but when i choose "Time" it just strats something but doesnt allow me to close the shutter what do i do?

I have the same question actually, and still haven't found a clear answer. I understand that BULB mode is the way to go for longer exposures (>30s). But how can i, for example, set a 10min exposure time in bulb and let this repeat for 6x in BYN? I am using the trial version still and a Nikon D750. I have a digital remote control which is able to this in bulb, so i would assume that this feature is also available in BYN?

 

thanks in advance.

You set the number of exposures you want per line and then you set the duration, in seconds, on the same line.  10 minutes = 600 seconds.

This is described in the User Guide...Look for the section on "Exposure Groups".

Click on the "?" in the upper right of the main BYE/BYN window to launch the User Guide.

thanks, i tried it before but wasn't able to adjust the duration. I shut down BYN again and restarted and now i was able to adjust the duration.... don't know why, but problem solved. Thanks again and you have a new customer

Time exposures are only up to a max of 30 seconds. For longer than that you need BULB mode.
