Use the front control dial to decrease the shutter-speed until
“bulb” is displayed.
Use the rear control dial to set the appropriate aperture
required for the exposure.
To take the picture, press and hold the shutter-release
button for the duration of the exposure. Releasing the
shutter button will end the exposure.
The monitors will be blank during the exposure. The shutter
sound effect will signal the end of the exposure. The
monitors will remain blank for up to 30 seconds while noise-
reduction processing is applied to the image.
Bulb photographs can be taken in the manual-exposure mode (M). The maximum
exposure time depends on the camera sensitivity setting, see page 55. The use of a
tripod and a remote cord is recommended for bulb exposures. The camera’s exposure
system cannot be used to calculate bulb exposures. The use of a separate light meter is
recommended.
BULB EXPOSURES
ATTACHING A REMOTE CORD (SOLD SEPARATELY)
The optional remote cords (RC-1000S or RC-1000L) can be
used to reduce vibrations from touching the camera during
long exposures. Before using the cord, attach the ferrite core
supplied with the camera as described on page 167.
Remove the remote-control terminal cover using the notch on
the right side of the cover. The cover is attached to the body
to prevent loss. Insert the plug of the cord into the terminal.
