Hello,
I have a Canon EOS 500D camera.
Choose CCD, Canon DSLR. Bulb option
Work properly with exposures of 1 second and 5 seconds
But, if I put another exposure time, the camera makes no photography.
Thanks

I have confirmed that my Nikon D5100 requires an extra USB shutter release cable to control the bulb.I have decided to build one by using a shutter release cable and a USB dongle that has an FTDI chip.
In MaxIm DL,I can have a way to choose what kind of bulb cable I am using,so my question is whether I can have my USB bulb Cable connect with Ekos?
Please have a look at the link below:

Hi,
I've been very busy with my work.
Now I can see that the problem with the Canon EOS500D is corrected.
Thank you
