Hi, very much a newbie to photography, but I am keen to try my hand at some long exposure shots with my A6000 and have bought some ND filters to do some experiments.
Operating the camera manually requires you to keep your finger on the shutter button for the entire length of the (bulb mode) shot - which seems a recipe for camera shake.
I have a Google Pixel (android) phone and from all my attempts so far (using imaging edge on the phone and "smart remote embedded" on the camera) it is impossible to select bulb mode - the app always sets the exposure to 30 seconds.
What I am ideally hoping for is the ability to press a (virtual) shutter button once to start the exposure and press it again to end the exposure.
I must admit I am surprised that this can't actually be done on the camera itself (i.e. press button to start and then press again to end exposure).
Any help gratefully received.
