Wireless remotes and bulb mode Hey all! Just a quick and probably simple question. I have a nikon d50, and I was wondering if I bought the ML-L3 wireless remote, would it keep the shutter open when I set the camera to Bulb, or would it just take a snapshot? sorry if this seems stupid; I just got the d50, and it is my first slr camera, so forgive my naivete :) thanks a bunch for any help you can give!

until another Nikon user can chime in I'll tell you that my Canon Rebel does just that. I push the button on the wireless remote (once I'm in Bulb) and push the button again when I'm done exposing. I'm assuming the Nikon can't be much different.

A wealth of information is available from Nikon USA website under Photo Support. There I found this link for the ML-L3: "Long Time-Exposures When the ML-L3 remote control is used in M mode, users can selected '- -' as the shutter speed. At this setting, the shutter opens when the shutter-release button on the optional ML-L3 remote control is pressed (2 seconds after the button is pressed in delayed remote mode) and remains open until the remote-control shutter-release button is pressed a second time (maximum exposure time is 30 minutes). Nikon recommends using a fully-charged EN-EL3 battery or an optional EH-5 AC adapter when using long exposures. For information regarding using the ML-L3 with flash please see the Cameras User manual."
