Hey does anyone in here using the XSI know how to use the BULB shutter speed setting so you dont have hold down the button....

I thought you could just press it once to open and then press again to close but for some reason I have to hold down the button which seems useless... is there an option in the menu for how BULB works that I can change or does it have to be in a certain mode?

oh and... XSI 50f1.8 , kit18-55, next lenses in order --> 70-200f2.8, 24-70f2.8, 10-22f3.5, 100f2.8 macro

Yeah use a remote, corded or not, that you can lock the button down. I it will allow you to leave the shutter open for as long as you ned

Cool thanks, was hoping for something simpler but at least now I know it can be done. Appreciate it!

canon wants liek $30 for the corded remote and I think more for the cordless, a word to the wise. www.dealextreme.com has super cheap china knockoff shit that works. My corded remote was $5 and looks exactly like the canon one,and works too. It has shutter lock for bulb too. Good luck.

Canon Rebel XS

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM
Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS


The 24-105 is on most of the time. I loooove that lens. The top two get the most use. The last two are kit and only get use when I need my camera to be very light for carrying. I'm never happy with the images from them but they work in times I just need to snap quick shots of something trivial.

Nice, thanks. Does anyone hold a camera while the shutter is open for longer than a split second? Doesnt seem to make any sense. Ill be placing my order!
