Got my ShoeString DSUSB Bulb cable, Still can't get Canon 400D into Bulb mode?
Well today my ShoeString DSUSB converter arrived and I tested it on my Canon 400D.
No matter what software I ran, nor what duration I requested the picture to expose for, the time specified on the Canon EOS Utility overrode all else. If it said 20 seconds for instance that is when the shutter would close, even if the Bulb software hadn't triggered teh close yet.what it would take.
I had the camera set to manual, ( and every other programmable setting - all failed to bulb control) and I tried all of
DSLRFocus V3
DSLR Shutter
Max DLSR
DSLR Remote Pro
No joy. All would detect the DSUSB was connected, but when I'd say take a 45 second exposure, the shutter would be closed by the trigger from the other software at 20 seconds say.
Is there a setting you have to enable to tell the camera or software the shutter is solely and exclusively in Bulb mode?
I tried via the Camera's main menu to set it into cable and remote bulb use - no real joy there sadly.
Many thanks folks - I'm sure its a user error or software constraint!
