◆ Shooting Mode, Shutter Speed
Set the camera to Bulb mode.
When the camera does not have a bulb mode, set shutter speed to more than 15 sec and
try several test shots to find the optimum shutter speed.
◆ Aperture (F-number)
Set iris at wide open (smallest F-number) or close the aperture one step.

Set ISO sensitivity to 400 or more.
Depending on the camera model, raising the sensitivity may result in poor image quality
due to noise.
Try several test shots to find the optimum ISO sensitivity.

The auto focus function may not operate properly due to low light and lack of contrast.
Set camera to Manual Focus and use viewfinder or live view mode for focus accuracy.
