Bulb Mode Exposure

Bulb Mode exposure is useful when you are capturing nighttime scenes that
require extended exposure of more than 30 seconds.
NOTE: Extended exposure times may degrade image quality.

Use the LCD illuminator (see

page 2-19

) to view the LCDs in the dark.

NOTE: Use of a tripod is recommended to avoid camera shake. Use of the

optional cable release instead of the Shutter Release button also
reduces camera shake.

1. Rotate the Exposure Mode dial to M.

2. Rotate the Main-Command dial to select buLb, and rotate the

Sub-Command dial to set the aperture.

IMPORTANT:

If buLb is selected in Manual Exposure mode and you
change to Shutter-Priority Auto Exposure mode without
cancelling buLb, buLb blinks and the shutter locks.
Select a shutter speed other than buLb by rotating the
Main-Command dial.

3. Compose the picture, focus, and capture the image.

The shutter remains open as long as you fully press the Shutter
Release button.
