MTC Photography Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 The speed dial of my M5 has double number B1 , which means it could be speed B or speed 1 sec. This is rather confusing. In what circumstances the shutter dial at B1 acts like B, when acts like 1 sec? On M6, B and 1 are separated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Peri Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 The speed dial of my M5 has double number B1 , which means it could be speed B or speed 1 sec. This is rather confusing. In what circumstances the shutter dial at B1 acts like B, when acts like 1 sec? The 1 sec through 30 sec times (B1, B2, B4 etc.) must be timed by the photographer. From the M5 manual: "The speed dial is additionally engraved with 'B' (bulb) from 1 to 30 seconds, for use with the light meter. These exposure intervals must be timed by the photographer, and a cable release should, of course, be used. Starting at the interval marked 'B1', the shutter will remain open as long as the cable release is held down." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
