Anyone knows if there is some kind of accessories I can buy not to have to keep my finger on the button for 2 minutes when I use the B Exposure option?

Thanks (I own a Nikon 5700)

What is the B Exposure option? I'm not familiar with this. Are you trying to get a 2min exposure? I believe the 5700 has a minimum 8sec exposure time.

I'm guessing that a cable release adaptor might do the job - you'd still have to push/squeeze the release for 2 mins but it would likely be more comfortable.

You can buy them, or make your own as demonstrated by Owen in this thread.

You can buy a release adaptor with a lock, this clamps the cable in the 'pushed' position until released.

I was also going to recommend a cable release, however, I'm still unclear as to what the B Exposure option is and am also curious to know if your camera is capable of a 2min expsoure. That's pretty impressive for a prosumer camera.

A HUNDRED QUID?

That HAS to be a mistake.

B exposure I would assume is bulb exposure, which allows you to take a longer exposure than the minimum exposure by holding down the shutter for as long as you would like the exposure to go. I can do the same thing on my coolpix 995 I just upgraded to a few weeks ago.

Okay, thanks for clarifying...I feel dumb now. =)
