For me as a beginner it would be helpful to have a little more hints "where to do what".
But probably for a professional user this "bulb timer" thing would be obvious.

I read also a lot the Documentation ,  probably it would be useful to have there a clearer text.
In the help menu on the cam it's nonessential.

ohh thank you, it's working now!

I would never have thought to do it that way, but now it makes sense! 

The "bulb timer works only in bulb mode" confused me , I thought it was some main mode (like turning the wheel to "Tv" mode) or something.

Thank you .

Hi, I'm new onto DSLR Cams and Magic Lantern.
I have a 550D cam and i want to make astrophotography, I realized quick that the standard features of the 550 not offers enough.
That's why i found Magic Lantern with Google search.

Installation and basic use are no problem, but how I get the bulb timer working?

I have read the FAQ and Documentation but there are no exact information how i get this to work.

The camera is in "M" mode and I enabled bulb timer .
But the Icon an the menu entree is red and it tells me "bulb timer works only in bulb mode".

What I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help in advance.
