If you click past the 30" exposure you will find 'bulb'
With this setting and a switch remote, the shutter stays open as long as the remote is switched... or your battery dies.
Yup mine has a dual switch, focus, expose.

Problem with "bulb" is you have to watch the camera and the time. Whereas, if you drop it to 30sec, hit continuous, you can walk away and leave it for 2 1/2 hours till the battery dies....

You can not expose for more than about 10 mins without over exposing a star trail.
