4 Press the button to select the other item
(shutter speed or aperture).

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 the command dial is being used to set
aperture, the multi selector can be used to set shutter speed, and vice-versa.
Long Time-Exposures (BULB)
When manual exposure mode is selected and
CONTINOUS set to Single (
108), shutter speed
can be set to BULB for long time-exposures of up
to five minutes. With shutter speed selected in the
control panel shutter-speed/aperture display or the
monitor, rotate the command dial until the shutter-speed display shows
(BULB). At this setting, the shutter will remain open while the shutter-release
button is pressed, to a maximum of 60 s (for exposures of up to five minutes,
set the EXPOSURE OPTIONS > Maximum Bulb Duration item in the SHOOT-
ING menu to 5 min;
119). To prevent blurring caused by camera shake,
we recommend that you use a tripod and a remote shutter release such as the
MC-EU1 remote cord. We also recommend that you turn noise reduction on
(
128) to reduce mottling (“noise”).
