Manual Mode
Select Shutter Speed with Adj Lever - got to "T" or "B" (to the left side - appears after "300s"
When using "B", the image will continue to be exposed while the shutter release button is pressed, and will end when the shutter release button is released. When using T, the exposure will begin once the shutter release button is pressed, and will end when it is pressed a second time.
Please note that "T" and "B" are not available if the camera is in "continuous mode".

Thank you jomybe. That was well hidden. I would like to find the remote control but it seems to have been discontinued.

If you can't get the "original" Ricoh Switch CA-2 go for a JJC RCA-2.

It is much cheaper but compatible with GR I-IV and V (replaces Ricoh CA-1 + CA-2, package includes two connecting cables with different USB-plugs).

The JJC cable switch is offered by Hongkong based ebay vendors. I have got mine within less than a week after order shipped to Germany.

Thanks again. I think I've found a ca2 at a Toronto camera store.
