Bulb Exposures
Elapsed exposure time
Since bulb exposures will have more noise than usual, the image will look
rough or grainy.
¡ Bulb exposures may result in grainy images due to picture noise. You
can reduce noise by setting C.Fn-02 [Long exposure noise reduction]
to [1:On] (p.141).
¡ For bulb exposures, using Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote
Controller TC-80N3 (both optional) is recommended.
