Choosing when the exposure ends (bulb/time photography)
Use for night landscapes and fireworks. Shutter speeds of [BULB] and [LIVE TIME] are
available in mode M.
Bulb photography (BULB): The shutter remains open while the shutter button is pressed.
The exposure ends when the shutter button is released.
Time photography (TIME): The exposure begins when the shutter button is pressed all
the way down. To end the exposure, press the shutter button
all the way down again.
Viewing Progress in the Monitor
To view the progress of the exposure during shooting, choose a display interval for [Live
BULB] (P. 89) or [Live TIME] (P. 89). This makes it easier to choose when to end the
exposure. If [Live TIME] is selected, the display can be refreshed by pressing the shutter
button halfway during time photography.

# Cautions
• ISO sensitivity can be set to values between ISO 200 and 1600 for live bulb and live time
photography.
• To reduce camera blur during long exposures, mount the camera on a tripod and use a
remote cable (P. 106).
• The following features are not available during long exposures:
Sequential shooing/self-timer shooting/AE bracket shooting/image stabilizer/
flash bracketing/multiple exposure
* An option other than [Off] is selected for [Live BULB] or [Live TIME].
Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena
are caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that
are not normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup
device or image pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a high
ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates
the noise reduction function. [Noise Reduct.] (P. 89)
