Choosing when the exposure ends (bulb/time photography)
Use for night landscapes and fi reworks. Shutter speeds of [BULB] and [LIVE TIME] are
available in mode

.
Bulb photography (BULB):
The shutter remains open while the shutter button is pressed.
The exposure ends when the shutter button is released.
Time photography (TIME):
The exposure begins when the shutter button is pressed all
the way down. To end the exposure, press the shutter button
all the way down again.
• When using BULB or TIME, screen brightness is varied automatically.
• When using [LIVE TIME], the progress of the exposure will be displayed in the monitor

Cautions
• ISO sensitivity can be set to a value up to ISO 1600 for live bulb and live time
photography.
• To reduce camera blur during long exposures, mount the camera on a tripod and use a
remote cable (P. 123).
• The following features are not available during long exposures:
Sequential shooting/self-timer shooting/AE bracket shooting/image stabilizer/
fl ash bracketing/multiple exposure*
* An option other than [Off] is selected for [Live BULB] or [Live TIME].
Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on screen. These phenomena
occur when the temperature rises in the image pickup device or image pickup device
internal drive circuit, causing current to be generated in those sections of the image pickup
device that are not normally exposed to light. This can also occur when shooting with a
high ISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera
activates the noise reduction function.
