heavens, and other subjects requiring long exposures.

Since bulb exposures produce more noise than usual, the image might
look rough or grainy.
When [8C.Fn II -1: Long exp. noise reduction] is set to [1: Auto] or
[2: On], noise generated by the bulb exposure can be reduced (p.176).
For bulb exposures, using the Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote
Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately) is recommended.
