Long (Bulb) Exposures
A bulb exposure keeps the shutter open for as long as you hold down the
shutter button.
1
Activate bulb shooting.
● Follow steps 1 – 2 in “Specific Shutter
Speeds and Aperture Values ([M] Mode)”
(
=
84) and set the shutter speed to
[BULB].
2
Shoot.
●
The exposure lasts as long as the shutter
button is pressed. The elapsed exposure
time will be displayed on the LCD monitor
during exposure.
●
Mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it
still and prevent camera shake. Additionally, you should turn off
image stabilization when using a tripod or other means to secure
the camera (
=
78).
●
Since bulb exposures produce more noise than usual, the image
may look grainy. There is a way to reduce noise in long exposures
when [Long exp. noise reduction] is set to [AUTO] or [ON]
(
=
80).
●
You can also use a Remote Controller (sold separately) for bulb
exposures (
=
152 ).
●
If the [Touch Shutter] is set to [Enable], touching the screen will
begin the exposure. Touch the screen again to end the exposure.
Be careful not to shake the camera when tapping the screen.
