prabuleica Posted June 21, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 21, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello Im a newbie using Leica Digilux 2 and i was wondering can we take long exposure like 25 sec or more with digilux 2 using the release cable by Locking the button for long exposure IS it possible? because the D2 doesnt have B feature. If that possible im going to buy the shutter release cable A.S.A.P to take photos at night with long exposure Thanks Prabu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismon Posted June 21, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 21, 2009 Longest shutter speed on a Digilux 2 is 8 seconds. A V-lux 1 will get you to 60 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 21, 2009 Share #3 Posted June 21, 2009 If you put it on auto it will expose considerably longer than 8 sec if needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted June 22, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 22, 2009 Prabu, This information will not get you a 'B' setting but, there was cable release available for the Digilux 2. It was called CR-DC1 and it plugs into the AV Out / Remote socket, located behind the door on the left side of the camera (left, looking from the back). A similar accessory was available for the Panasonic DMC-LC1 and its code was DMW-RS1. It is probably still available, as it also fits other Panasonic models. As Jaap mentions - the best (and only) way to get long exposures is to set the camera's shutter to Automatic. I would than adjust the f-stops manually, to get the correct and longest possible exposure. You can also of course use the camera in a fully manual mode and set the shutter to 1/2s, 1s, 2s, 4s, and as low as 8 seconds. Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted June 22, 2009 Share #5 Posted June 22, 2009 If you put it on auto it will expose considerably longer than 8 sec if needed. Jaap, Actually, it will not. The longest exposure in Auto mode that the camera is capable of, is 2 seconds. This is in both Full Auto and Aperture Priority. Exposures longer than 2 seconds can only be obtained in fully Manual Mode with the shutter speed dial set to 2+. Exposure times of 1s, 2s, 4s, and 8s are set via the thumb wheel, while the shutter speed dial is set to 2+. Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best approach to long exposures with my D2 is - like proposed - A setting, but then using the delayed action : you avoid any accessory... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
