∫ Manual Exposure Assistance
• The manual exposure assistance is an
approximation. We recommend checking
the pictures using Auto Review.
∫ About [B] (Bulb)
If you set the shutter speed to [B], the
shutter stays open while the shutter button
is pressed fully (up to about 8 minutes).
The shutter closes if you release the
shutter button.
Use this when you want to keep the shutter
open for a long time to take pictures of
fireworks, a night scene etc.
• If you set the shutter speed to [B], [ ]
is displayed on the Viewfinder and [B] is
displayed on the LCD monitor.
• When you take pictures with the shutter
speed set to [B], use a sufficiently charged
battery. (P19)
• We recommend using a tripod or the
remote shutter (DMW-RSL1; optional)
when you take pictures with the shutter
speed set to [B]. Refer to P107 for
information about the remote shutter.
• When you take pictures with the shutter
speed set to [B], noise may become
visible. To avoid picture noise, we
recommend setting [LONG SHUTTER

before taking pictures. (P87)

appear.

the shutter speed is slow, the shutter
speed on the screen counts down.

red when the shutter button is pressed
halfway. The aperture value and the
shutter speed blink on the Viewfinder.
