Noise in images
During shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena are
caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not normally
exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup device or image pickup device
drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting in an environment exposed
to heat. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise reduction function.

Bulb shooting
You can take a picture with a bulb exposure time in which the shutter stays open as long as you hold
down the shutter button. Set the shutter speed to [BULB] in the M mode. Bulb shooting can also be
done using an optional remote control (RM-1).
