If thats the information you got from reading this thread, then you did not read the whole thing or your attention got caught only to the word "30 secs". Thats why I suggested, play with your camera, try atleast a 1 minute bulb mode on your D90 and see how it functions, probably you will also realize what was all this discussion about. |

Please refer to page 86 of D90 User Manual. "The shutter automatically closes after 30 minutes in BULB mode." |

Same in D7000 when using the "Remote Wireless remote". With a wired remote, it will keep on as long as shutter is depressed. So if you set bulb mode, and press shutter and release it after 1/2 second, you will get a 1/2 second exposure. If you release if after 40 minutes, you will get 40 minutes exposure. If you use a wireless remote to trigger shutter, it will take exposure upto a max for 30 minutes. You can again trigger the shutter within 30 minutes to get a shorter exposure. |

Longer power is due to the extra battery inside and again extra FPS is still a mystery. D700 default 5 fps becomes 8 fps with the battery pack. Both batteries are never used simultaneously as dying one is shifted to the full power one through internal auto setting. Or do they suck from both batteries when 'burst'/CSh (continuous shooting high) is used ? |

Let me tell you unless you dont read and be thorough with the manual you can not explore your piece to max. Not only camera but any item with a manual. Hearsay can be very dangerous. If I read here and keep thinking that I can capture BULB mode only for 30secs then I am doomed. The functioning of each button, what and how it does must be clear to utilize the equipment to max. BTW, I had just replied to a statistical question someone did not know correctly. I just referred to manual and quoted the page number so that all doubts are killed once and for all. That does not mean that I restrict myself to manuals and dont explore my equipment. But I explore it with manual first, rather than hit and trial method which may teach some one how to click a photograph but wont teach photography. Just my opinion. Not to hurt anyone. |

....you need to chill big time. Sure sir, I will do that instead of trying to answer every question on the thread spend some time on your camera. That is if you are serious about photography. As I said, I ask more questions than answering ....seems like you came across the bulb mode for first time from your friends. I know you have lot of time to spend on the thread, please go ahead with counter accusations. Yes I am a learner, I will come across many new things in this stage and need to ask questions to help my learning. Thats the whole purpose of this thread. Counter accusations is not my standard of learning. |

Moreover do you really need 8fps?, I ahve done motorsport, weddings, landscapes, street and never needed more than 3fps. |

So all the asto photographers should throw there D90's?, since there exposures start at 15-30mins and go in hours. To correct you. The exposure is from millisecs to 30 mins WITHOUT wireless remote. If 30 mins not enough for astro guys and can not buy a wired remote then they can follow your advise of throwing the piece. However they can still use it personal use. :D On the contrary, photography is learnt by hit and trail, spending 3yrs with a camera vs 3yrs photography degree, degree students still spend another 3yrs with camera working for free to LEARN via HIT AND TRIAL. And AFAIK manual doesn't teach photography, none of the manuals i have touched even explained Rule of thirds let alone how to break it. Hello, Did I say learning about photography from manuals? Again thats what you are interpreting. I am saying about learning functions of switches and buttons for camera. Well, I dont tweak the buttons to find out what all it can do. |

Tanveer, wireless IR remote (ML-L3) does not function as 'press and hold' on bulb mode with D90, I have tried and failed. |

Well Shaju I just quickly moved the slider to check the video and did not go in detail. Anyway I could not quite understand how exactly a dumb device like battery grip can result in any failure due to firmware update or even responsible for Longer power backup , faster FPS yada yada.. . |

I am quoting you here to tell you that it can be done. ML-3 can be used to hold the shutter open for upto 30mins/until pressed again. Manual says so and tells the procedure. I have done it several times. If you need help do let me know. |

.... Battery pack was mentioned on the extra grip requirement, not for the other features. I think our CH (continuous high) gives 5 fps, thats more than enough for special situations. |

Oh my dearest friend, I have only one simple request to you, please read the post before quoting with a reply. Did you read my post as ML-3 or ML-L3 ? Please read again, you are talking about two different remotes. I see Tanveer's post too, I am not sure if ML-L3 ( 500 bucks) can do that, if it can, may be I had a faulty remote. But again, ML-L3 has a rubbery cheap button which has no hold option. Are you guys sure about it ? |

I got my remote for Rs 400/- original Nikon. You dont have to hold the button. You have to press once to open shutter and another time to close it. It just replicates the action of button. Simple enough. I stand corrected its ML-L3. Obviously ML-3 does it too. I will write a step by step procedure at night. You may have missed few things. BTW the manual says ML-L3 remote and quotes some two response modes. Quick Response and Delayed mode. I think they have messed it up because ML-L3 has only one press button. Nevertheless it does the job as I said before. |

.....I suspect, you are holding the button too long. So the camera may be getting "two button presses" instead of one... |

There are four things you will have to check:- 1. Camera in Long Exp. NR mode - ON. 2. Shtter release mode - Wireless. 3. Mode - M 4. Shutter Speed - "Bulb" or "--" . |
Its optional. I prefer to take my own dark frame shot, rather than let camera do the long exposure noise reduction. |
