About [B] (Bulb)
If you set the shutter speed to [B], the shutter stays open while the shutter button is pressed
fully (up to about 120 seconds).
The shutter closes if you release the shutter button.
Use this when you want to keep the shutter open for a long time to take pictures of fireworks, a
night scene etc.
•
We recommend using a tripod or the remote shutter (DMW-RSL1: optional) when you take pictures
with the shutter speed set to [B]. Refer to

•
When you take pictures with the shutter speed set to [B], use a sufficiently charged battery.
