long exposures

The X1 brochure says that the shutter speeds go down to 30s but the shutter speed dial doesn't have a B setting, only something labeled 1+. Does anyone know how this works? Is it similar to B on the M8/M9, where you see the seconds count up in the viewfinder?

 

And is it possible to use some kind of cable release on the X1 for long exposures?

 

Thanks,

If it follows a similar convention to my Digilux 3, when you place the shutter speed dial on the X1's +1 (:02-:60s on the Digilux 3), you then would use the control buttons and the screen on the back to incrementally increase the time up until the X1's maximum.

 

Don't know about the release.
