value

value.

About [B] (Bulb)
If you set the shutter speed to [B], the shutter stays open while the shutter button is
pressed fully. (Approximately up to 60 seconds)
The shutter closes if you release the shutter button. Use this function when you want to
keep the shutter open for an extended period, for example, to record pictures of fireworks
or night scenes.
•When you take pictures with the shutter speed set to [B], use a sufficiently charged
battery.
