Old trick but still a goodie! To those who don't know this yet, here's a classic experiment for instant bulb setting!
Cover That Exposure Meter by ethermoon
The LC-A and LC-A+ are automatic. They depend on how the light enters over the exposure meter. Where’s that? See that little knob of ISO setting you twist before you decide on under-or-overexposing? That little hole you see is the exposure or light meter. It is automatic, depending on the available light your LC-A gets on the environment.
Now here’s the trick.
- Place it on ISO 25. (or 100 ISO if LC-A+). It has now the smallest hole.
- Place your finger to cover that little hole you see in front. Best yet, grab a black tape and stick it over the exposure meter in the front.
- Place your LC-A in a tripod (if you don’t have one, place it in a flat surface).
- Press the shutter button; hold it steady as long as you like.
Now, you have that bulb mode in your LC-A: perfect for night shots and so on!
You got something in there as wicked as this? then upload your newest stuff here and be rewarded!

great tip, but just one thing...if you set the ISO setting on the camera to a lower number, won't the hole be bigger instead of smaller? because the lower the speed, the more light the camera needs to let in for correct exposure.
