With a Canon Rebel XTi, can you disable the timer while in bulb mode? I am not seeing this in the instruction manual. Seems rather limiting if I am in bulb mode and press the cable release and have to wait 10 seconds before the camera fires. Any help is appreciated.

? I am confused?
Just don't turn the timer on!

So far, the only way I know to get into bulb mode is also the timer activation. I have tried to figure this out and I too am confused. it doesn't make sense. I am sure i am doing something wrong but just have not figured it out yet.

I put the camera in Manual Mode and dial down the shutter speed until BULB shows up. Also, in the MENU screen I choose BULB/Timer. I will try undoing the MENU option for BULB mode and see if that will fix this. Thank you for prompting my brain to kick into a higher gear.

Yeah, stay out of the menu.

Just use BULB for cable release. The other option is for using a wireless remote. If you don't have one then it will have a 10-second delay.
I use my wireless remote all the time and frequently forget to turn it off when done. I've missed shots because I grab my camera for some quick shot and get the 10 second delay.
