Long Exposure
You can enable or disable a long exposure feature on your camera. When
enabled, this feature reduces noise in long exposures.
The choices are:
Off—If you use a long shutter speed to capture an image while this feature
is Off, a message suggests that you enable it.
Long—Suggested for exposures up to 1/2 sec.
Longer—This choice allows you produce high quality images during
longer exposures by specifying an ISO and a shutter speed setting. Use
Longer with either the Manual or Shutter Speed Priority AE exposure mode.
1. Choose Long Exposure from the Capture menu.
2. Choose Off, Long, or Longer.
3. Press the OK button.
If you chose Off or Long, the setting has been changed.
If you chose Longer, the following screen appears:
a. Press the top or bottom of the Five-way control to change the ISO
setting. Press the left or right of the Five-way control to change the
shutter speed setting. (In the example above, ISO is set to 50 and
shutter speed is set to 2 seconds.)
NOTE: While Longer is enabled, its exposure settings override the
existing exposure setting. Do not change the exposure mode,
shutter speed, or ISO setting using the camera controls.
b. Press the OK button.
The camera’s metering system is now enabled. Use the Viewfinder’s
Exposure meter for assistance when setting the aperture.
