About [T] (Time)
If you set the shutter speed to [T] (Time), the shutter stays open while the shutter button is
pressed fully (up to approximately 30 minutes).
The shutter will close when the shutter button is pressed again.
Use this when you want to keep the shutter open for a long time to take pictures of
fireworks, a night scene etc.
• It can only be used with Manual Exposure Mode.
• When the shutter speed is set to [T] (Time), we recommend using a tripod and taking
pictures remotely by connecting the camera to a smartphone via Wi-Fi connection to
prevent camera shake. [B] (Bulb) is also available when connected via Bluetooth.
• When you take still pictures with the shutter speed set to [T] (Time), the pictures may
have higher noise levels. If you want to suppress noise, we recommend taking pictures
by setting [Long Shtr NR] to [ON] in the [Rec] menu.
