Bulb (B Setting)

bə́lb mód
Term: Bulb Mode
Description:
Bulb mode is a shooting mode found on some cameras. With the camera set to bulb mode, the shutter will stay open as long as it is pressed, rather than releasing for a designated amount of time. It can also be triggered with some remotes and cable releases similarly - as long as the button on the remote or release is pressed, the shutter will stay open.
