Even with manual still not getting timed shutter speeds. HELP

[Bram]

Hey guys i'm back.

I've been experimenting like crazy and I still can't find a way with my remote shutter release (ML-L3) to get a timed exposure. I changed the setting to 15m, Minimum. Now my objective is to be able to get it to the setting, Hit shutter release to open the shutter, hit it again to close it. Therefore having my own timed exposure shot. I cannot find a way even using the manual to get this to work. Can somebody please give me some help on this please.

See page 43 in your user manual. (bulb)

And page 44 in the D40X manual.

I cannot find a way even using the manual to get this to work.

I'd hate to say i've tried that but... i've tried it.

Page 44 is pretty straight forward:

Optional remote control required.
Select mode M, choose a shutter speed of “bulb,” and then select delayed remote or quick-response remote mode (See page 33).

Shutter opens when the shutter-release button on the remote control is pressed

and remains open for thirty minutes or until the button is pressed a second time.​

Have you confirmed your ML-L3 works?​

Yes the remote definately works. I guess i'll go home and give it another shot.
