Hi guys

I just purchased the FotoTech IR remote control for the A7R and the A7S and it works like a charm on the A7R. My first time that i can now shoot longer than 30s, yayy!

However, wanted to try it on the A7S but i somehow cant select BULB mode on the camera? Doesnt this camera support that or is it me (most likely)...

What have i done wrong?

Thanks

make sure you're in single shot mode, multishot wont work.

Im at work now, and cant try it out. But as you say now, i remember trying out the burst shooting speed of it last time i handled the camera. Thanks a lot!  :p

see i was in the same boat as well and no internet search helped me but heres what i managed to find out.

1) dont use the specialized picture profile (you know the one where it provides you the biggest dynamic range for great coloring later)
2) dont use silent shutter

now i didnt play around with knowing whether its 1 or its 2 alone...i just did both and managed to get into bulb mode...
