M][LONG EXP.] — Slowing the Shutter Speed
Slow the shutter speed when taking a shot of a starry night sky or small light (such
as a candle) in the middle of darkness. The shutter speed is the length of time the
shutter is open. The longer the shutter is open, the longer the time that the subject is
exposed.

Since the time to be set differs depending on the subject, check the shutter speed taking trial
shots.
