Aperture Priority Image Recording
You can fix the aperture at a specific level. A larger aperture
(indicated by a smaller aperture value) narrows the focus
range, while a smaller aperture widens the focus range.

Compose the image and then record it.
• When the Shutter Speed is set to “Bulb”, exposure
continues as long as you depress the shutter button.
Because of this, use of the wired remote control unit is
recommended whenever using the “Bulb” setting.
• The self-timer is disabled while the Shutter Speed is
set to “Bulb”.
• The slowest shutter speed when “Bulb” is selected is
64 seconds.
• Note that using a slower shutter speed increases the
chance of static being present in your image, and the
amount of static visible in an image is inversely pro-
portional to the shutter speed.
• At shutter speeds of one second or slower, the cam-
era automatically performs internal data processing
intended to limit image static, so the image record op-
eration takes longer at slow shutter speeds. At shutter
speeds of one second or greater, doubling the shutter
speed setting tells you about how long it takes for an
image to be recorded. For example, image recording
with a shutter speed of one second takes about two
seconds.
