Setting the Exposure
Time (TIME EXPOSURE)
If you set the camera to TIME EXPOSURE,
when you shoot, the shutter stays open for
the time specified. By setting an exposure
time, you can capture the track of moving
subjects such as fireworks and car lights,
when you shoot a night scene. You can
select an exposure time of 1, 2, 4 or 8 sec-
onds.
By default, your camera is set to OFF.
When the camera is set to Exposure Time,
the shutter speed is slowed, so the camera
is subject to camera shake. Hold the cam-
era firmly with both hands when you shoot.
If you set Exposure Time before shooting,
the display on the LCD monitor remains
cleared during shooting.
