3. Turn the aperture ring to select the aperture (F value).
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 or when using [HDR Painting] or [Rich-
tone Mono.] in [Picture Effect], you cannot set the shutter speed to [BULB].
When the shutter speed is set to [BULB], if you use [Smile Shutter], [Auto HDR], or [HDR Painting]
or [Rich-tone Mono.] in [Picture Effect], the shutter speed is temporarily set to 30 seconds.
Manual shift
You can change the aperture (F value) and shutter speed combination while keeping the exposure you
have set.
1. Press and hold the AEL button and turn the aperture ring to select the aperture (F value) and shutter
speed combination.
