BULB
You can shoot trails with long exposure. [BULB] is suitable for shooting trails of light, such as fireworks.
1. Set the mode dial to
(Manual Exposure).
2. Press
on the control wheel to select shutter speed.
3. Turn the control wheel counterclockwise until [BULB] is indicated.
4. Press the shutter button halfway down to adjust the focus.
5. Press and hold the shutter button for the duration of the shooting.
As long as the shutter button is pressed, the shutter remains open.
Notes
Since the shutter speed becomes slow and the camera shake tends to occur more easily, it is
recommended that you use a tripod.
The longer the exposure time, the more conspicuous the noise on the image.
After shooting, noise reduction (Long Exposure NR) will be done for the same amount of time that
the shutter was open. You cannot do any further shooting during the reduction.
When the [Smile Shutter] or [Auto HDR] function is activated, you cannot set the shutter speed to
[BULB].
If the [Smile Shutter] or [Auto HDR] function is used with the shutter speed set to [BULB], the
shutter speed is temporarily set to 30 seconds.
