* Be sure to set it back to the "O" position after use.
15. B (BULB) SETTING
The B setting is used for shooting night scenes or long time exposures.
1.Keep the Shutter Speed Dial Release Button pressed down and set the "B" against the Shutter Speed Index Line. The "B" mark in the Viewfinder will pulsate to indicate that the shutter speed is set to B (bulb).
2.When you press the Shutter Release Button, the shutter will remain open as long as the button is pressed.
*For long time exposures, use a tripod and cable release to prevent camera shake.
[Note: from Mike B. - The self timer can fire off long exposures (1/4 - 16 sec.) without a shutter release cable. For longer exposures a locking cable release is rather cheap and time exposures can give interesting nighttime effects. WARNING: Some electronic shutters (like this camera) use the battery to keep the shutter open. This long exposure can drain the battery big time and could cause you to lose firing ability if the battery dies after a few shots. Keep spare batteries if you do this with an electronic shutter. Spring loaded (manual shutters) are great for long time exposures. Their batteries only power the meter.]
16. FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
The Sears Auto/Thyristor electronic flash 48025) is available exclusively for use with this camera. [Note: Mike B. - This is basically a Ricoh camera. A Ricoh dedicated flash will work the auto
functions just like this dedicated Sears flash.]
With this flash unit, you can leave the shutter speed set on "A''.
