Mikael,

On the lens there should be a small lever with a "T" on it. Slide this lever in the direction of the arrow (on newer lenses there is a tiny chrome lever that has to be depressed first) and the shutter is set for "time" mode. Depress the shutter release to open the shutter and slide the lever off the "T" position to close. This mode is designed to conserve battery power with long exposures.

I borrowed the above mentioned camera to do some night photo. Yesterday I was out in the dark and was all set for my first exposure. After exposing ~ one minute in bulb mode the camera started to beep loud and closed the shutter. First i thought it was the batteries and changed them, but no luck. Somebody told me I should look for a T mode to overcome the problem, but except for 400 - 8 on the shutter speed dial there's also B, RBL & AEF. Nothing more, nothing less. I'd be really happy if anybody could help!
