I want to lock open my shutter with bulb, but without having to hold the button down, I have Olympus SP-590UZ?

There must be some sort of way to make that work. Help please.

I know for a fact it has a bulb setting. What I am wondering is, how to set the shoot button to turn on with 1 click and turn off with another.

I don't think that camera has a bulb setting. Compact digital cameras rarely have longer exposures than 15 seconds, because the images get very noisy.

Oops, you're right. According to
http://www.olympusamerica.com/files/oima_cckb/SP-590UZ_FAQ_EN.pdf
page 8 there is a Bulb mode, and there is a cable release available that can be locked.
