Setting the Exposure Time (TIME EXPOSURE)
If you set the camera to TIME EXPOSURE, when you shoot, the shutter stays open for the time
specified.
By setting an exposure time, you can capture the track of moving subjects such as fireworks and car
lights, when you shoot a night scene. You can select an exposure time of 1, 2, 4 or 8 seconds.
To set the exposure Time, follow the steps below.
• At purchase, the setting is OFF.
• When the camera is set to Exposure Time, the shutter speed is slowed, so the camera is subject to camera
shake. Hold the camera firmly with both hands when you shoot.
• If you set Exposure Time before shooting, the display on the LCD monitor remains cleared during shooting.
