• To operate the shutter release button in p mode, set in [7. Bulb (B) Mode
Options] of the [A Custom Setting 1] menu.
• More noise may appear in captured images if a slower shutter speed is set.
You can reduce image noise by using Noise Reduction. Set in [Slow Shutter
Speed NR] of the [A Rec. Mode 3] menu. (p.98)
• Use a tripod and the optional cable switch or remote control unit to prevent
camera shake during Bulb shooting.
• We recommend using the optional AC adapter kit as the battery drain is high
during Bulb shooting.

[ASTROTRACER] in [GPS] of the [A Rec. Mode 4] menu, the
ASTROTRACER function is activated in p mode. (p.264)
