# Cautions
To prevent blur during bulb photography, mount the camera on a tripod and use a remote
cable (P. 102).
The following functions are not available during bulb shooting:
Sequential shooing/self-timer shooting/AE bracket shooting/image stabilizer/
fl ash bracketing
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.]: g “Customizing camera settings” (P. 81)
