Remote shutter release weirdness on Canon 1100D

[kirkster501]

Hi all,

A long shot but thought I'd ask the SGL Oracle in case anyone has come across this before.  On my Canon 1100D, can anyone think of why when I use my Captur remote shutter release system the shutter opens correctly but then, when the 30s  exposure is up, it does not close the shutter again?  The same Captur device works 100% perfectly on my Fuji XT2.  It is just a different cable, very simple one too, on the Canon 1100D.

A bit lost as to why......?

Thanks if you have any thoughts.

Did you have the Canon set to bulb?, the reason I ask is that in this configuration the camera requires a pulse to start and one to stop but only a single pulse if the camera was set at 30 seconds. The point being is was the remote set to start and stop the exposure.

That would be my first though, too.

Yes I have.  but I thought putting on Bulb is what i need to do?

EDIT: The Captur device allows me to set an exposure to 56.7 seconds if i want.....  So Bulb needed to do that right?

Had a quick search for this device but could not find any info regarding setting of timer, it looked like its a manual shutter release with wireless connectivity which would require you to press the shutter again to stop the exposure. Do you have a link to the model you have?
