THE B SETTING
With the B setting, the shutter remains open for as long as the shutter
release button is held down (up to a maximum of 60s; depending on the ISO
setting).
In both cases, the exposure meter is disabled; after the shutter is released
however the digital display in the viewfinder counts the elapsed exposure
time in seconds, for guidance.
Notes:
• Long exposure times can be associated with very heavy picture noise.
• To reduce this annoying phenomenon, after pictures with slow shutter
speeds (from approx.
1
/
30
s,) the camera automatically takes a second
“black picture” (taken with the shutter closed). The noise present in this
parallel picture is then digitally “subtracted” from the data for the real
picture.
• This doubling of the “exposure” time can be significant at longer
exposure times, and must be allowed for. During this time the camera
should not be turned off.
VALUES ABOVE AND BELOW THE METERING RANGE
If the exposure meter reading is below its working range in very low lighting
conditions and in manual mode, the left hand triangular LED (( ) flashes as
a warning in the viewfinder, while the right hand LED ( ) does the same if
there is too much light. In aperture priority mode, the shutter speed is still
displayed. If the required shutter speed is more than the slowest possible
60s or less than the fastest possible
1
/
4000
s, these displays also flash. As
the exposure is metered with the working aperture, this situation can come
about by stopping down the lens. Even if you are below the metering range,
the exposure meter remains on for around 30s after you let go of the shutter
release button. If the lighting conditions improve in this time (e.g. due to a
change in the subject detail or opening of the aperture), the LED display
changes from flashing to continuously lit, indicating that the meter is ready.
