Long Time-Exposures (M Mode Only)
Select the following shutter speeds for long time-
exposures of moving lights, the stars, night
scenery, or fireworks.
• Bulb (A): The shutter remains open while
the shutter-release button is pressed all the way
down.
To prevent blur, use a tripod or an
optional wireless remote controller (0 237) or
remote cord (0 237).
• Time (&): Start the exposure using the shutter-release button on the camera or on
an optional remote control, remote cord, or wireless remote controller.
The shutter
remains open for thirty minutes or until the button is pressed a second time.
Before proceeding, mount the camera on a tripod or place it on a stable, level surface.
To prevent light entering via the viewfinder interfering with exposure, remove the
rubber eyecup and cover the viewfinder with the supplied eyepiece cap (0 50).
To
prevent loss of power before the exposure is complete, use a fully charged battery.
Note that noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog) may be present
in long exposures; before shooting, choose On for Long exposure NR in the
shooting menu (0 180).
