Unfortunately the 5D (original) doesn't have live-view - which allows you to see the picture before you take it. It doesn't have video either but I guess you already knew that.
go to menu, move over to wrench, select. then move down to ctrl dial set. select aperture. now go back up and get out of menu. now you want to select "M" on your right dial.,turn your clicker knob on the front right of camera, and there you can click to bulb. hope that made sense!
This is a known issue with a fault with the charged couple device CCD. If you contact Konica Minolta / Sony in your city they should replace it as a recall.
when you use the full auto mode, the body take jpeg images in sRGB mode. And it create a different folder for those, but perhaps your computer is tune to get THIS folder. So when you leave the full auto mode, the 5D create a second folder for new images. Try to open directly the 5d volume on your computer (in windows, configuration panel, on a mac, it mount automatically on desktop) and go into DCIM folder. see? there is two folders, aleluia.
It sounds like that's the first black frame problem that is a fairly common defect with the cameras, so much so that Sony is repairing it for free, for more info, see:
