Bulb setting on RX100 M4

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased the above named camera, love it as I expected but I can't find the setting for bulb. I've been into the manual settings, turned the control wheel as instructed but there is no bulb indicator. Anyone able to advise?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Phil,

Is your camera probably set to one of those modes?

You cannot set the shutter speed to [BULB] in the following situations:

When the [Smile Shutter] function is activated.
When the [Auto HDR] function is activated.
When [Picture Effect] is set to [HDR Painting] or [Rich-tone Mono.].
When the [Multi Frame NR] function is activated.
When the [Drive Mode] function is set to the following modes:
- [Cont. Shooting]
- [Cont. Bracket]
- [Spd Priority Cont.]
- [Self-timer(Cont)]
When [Shutter Type] is set to [Electronic Shut.].

Cheers

Guys,

Thank you very much for your help, I checked all the settings, adjusted as advised and, hey presto!!, BULB in all it's glory.

I look forward to sunrises, sunsets, fireworks etc etc,

Thanks again,

Phil.
