a: Manual Exposure
A bulb exposure keeps the shutter open for as long as you hold down the
shutter button. It can be used to shoot fireworks and other subjects requiring
long exposures.
In the manual shooting mode, turn the
<5> dial to the left to set the shutter
speed display to [BULB].
The elapsed exposure time will be
displayed on the LCD monitor.

Since bulb exposures produce more noise than usual, the image may look a
little grainy.
When [A4: Long exp. noise reduction] is set to [Auto] or [Enable], noise
generated by the long exposure can be reduced (p.157).
For bulb exposures, using a tripod is recommended.
You can also use a Remote Controller (sold separately, p.295) for bulb
exposures. When you press the Remote Controller’s transmit button, the bulb
exposure will start immediately or 2 sec. later. Press the button again to stop
the bulb exposure.
