Gotta be in single shooting drive mode to get the Bulb setting available.

[@thedotashow]

This is the most important thing

[@TheRealJonnyBGood]

Yooooo. F**kin thank you! simple, to the point.

[@ahmedb2559]

thank you !

[@ThomasMatthewEvans]

I use bulb mode in conjuction with an external flash to create "ghost trails" or to freeze the action at a defined point on the exposure.

[@thilinaalagiyawanna3680]

Thank you

[@ravikanagasabey285]

Very well explained

[@spyrosheniadis]

Thank you!

[@MrV2u]

Well done sir

[@spyrosheniadis]

Thank you!

[@c0nn0rm]

It is dumb af I can’t push to start and push to stop. My 20 year old Nikon managed this

[@pematamang9268]

How Can I know correct exposure if whatever I like releases shutter? I got underexposed or overexposed in bulb mode?

[@ilizrdz]

Mine has the option to go into bulb mode but when I hit the shooter, it takes a fast picture only. Im on single shooting mode, silent shooter mode is off, I'm on Manual; not sure what other settings I need to change.

[@pematamang9268]

Sometime my photo turn way under expose and Over exposure in Bulb Mode. How to know times for correct exposure in Bulb Mode?

[@lindakantes873]

Great video ---Just got the camera with 28-70 kit lens .... question, how do I focus to infinity? while in bulb mode. Is there a way to do it SLR style? ie AF in distant object in daylight--switch to manual and dont touch ! Appreciate some advice, thank you

[@Collin2377]

Did you hear about the broken shutter problems with this camera ? I ordered it two days ago and I got it today. I didn’t even open the box. I might simply return it. Too expensive to fix it.

[@JeffreyStock]

Thanks.

[@spyrosheniadis]

Thank you!

[@bcrphoto7]

You explained it very well and clear, BUT I took my shutter to the last setting like you said 30 seconds and there is NO BULB setting after that, I am in M and my last setting is 30 seconds, I have the a7lll. So what's your thoughts on that?

[@gshergill9166]

I faced same issue: but the notes in the guide helped. My issue was [Drive Mode] being in [Continuous shooting]. I could go to bulb mode once I was in Single shot Drive mode. helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1720/v1/en/contents/TP0001653106.html

[@JohnHayesOnLine]

@@gshergill9166 thanks very much. After watching several videos, this article explained the issue. My shutter speed was in silent mode

[@J.53780]

@@JohnHayesOnLine thanks mate

[@FatihVideographer]

Isn’t it possible to use the bulb mode with the sony app ? Thanks!

[@krzysztofw3730]

It is possible and that`s the easiest and cheapest option IMO. :)

[@JohnHayesOnLine]

Hi Spyros I have just bought the Sony A7riii and cannot find bulb mode. I am in manual mode and cannot go beyond 30 seconds. I have set drive mode to single shot but Bulb is still not an option. Can you help please ?

[@JohnHayesOnLine]

The article below helped. You cannot use Bulb mode when silent shutter is selected

[@muleyg]

Why can't my A7 III camera go into bulb mode? What settings do I need to change?

[@TheClippityClop8]

Make sure your camera is in manual mode with single shot selected and make sure your not in silent shutter mode.
