mikael1 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I borrowed the above mentioned camera to do some night photo.Yesterday I was out in the dark and was all set for my first exposure.After exposing ~ one minute in bulb mode the camera started to beeploud and closed the shutter. First i thought it was the batteries andchanged them, but no luck. I'd be really happy if anybody could help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavelp Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 This is normal behavior. The shutter is electronic and IS HELD OPEN by batteries. To prevent quick drain of batteries, the B mode is limited to one minute or so. If you need more time, you need to use T setting. Mamiya has manuals on their website (http://www.mamiya.com). It's somewhere under Customer Service or Support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikael1 Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Thanks for the answer! So i guess the batteries will pretty quickly drain in T mode? Anyways, I can't find a T mode on the shutter speed dial. Except from 400 - 8 there's also B, RBL & AEF. Nothing more, nothing less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garry edwards Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 'T' is on the lens, not on the shutter speed dial, and it's a mechanical function. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavelp Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 T does not drain batteries at all (but you have to close the shutter manually). The manuals at Mamiya website explain all this and are free (you download them as a PDF file and print on your employers laser printer :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
