When the bulb exposure starts, the frame counter on the LCD panel counts the
elapsed exposure time from 1 to 30 seconds. After every 30 seconds, one
segment ( ) on the exposure compensation scale appears and the frame
counter resets to 1. Therefore, if three segments are displayed and the frame
counter reads “30,” it means 120 seconds have elapsed.
Bulb exposures consume almost no battery power.
To connect a remote controller (Remote Switch 60T3, etc.) to the camera, use
Remote Switch Adapter RA-N3.
Connecting Remote Switch RS-80N3 (shutter release lock provided) or Timer
Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately) to the camera’s remote control
terminal relieves your finger from pressing the shutter button during bulb exposures.
