Long Time-Exposures (BULB)
When manual exposure mode is selected and
Continuous set to Single (
104), shutter
speed can be set to BULB for long time-expo-
sures of up to five minutes. With shutter speed
selected in the control panel or in the monitor
or viewfinder, rotate the command dial until
the control panel shows
(BULB will be dis-
played in the monitor or viewfinder).
At this setting, the shutter will remain open while the
shutter-release button is pressed, to a maximum of
1 min (for exposures of up to five minutes, set the
Exposure Options: Maximum Bulb Duration
item in the SHOOTING menu to 5 min;
110). To
prevent blurring caused by camera shake, we recom-
mend that you use a tripod and a remote shutter re-
lease such as the MC-EU1 remote cord (available
separately). We also recommend that you turn
Noise Reduction on (
117) to reduce mottling
(“noise”).
The Multi Selector
The item not currently selected in the control panel shutter-speed/aperture
display or monitor can be adjusted by pressing the multi selector left or right
while the
button is held down. If aperture is displayed in green in the
monitor or viewfinder, the multi selector can be used to set shutter speed, and
vice-versa.
