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
J 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).

TIPS
The picture looks blurred
J The use of a monopod or tripod is recommended when taking a picture at slow
shutter speed.
If you operate the aperture, the viewfinder shows the actual depth of field (the
distance from the nearest to the furthest point of perceived “sharp” focus) in a
picture, with the selected aperture value. For the preview function to work by
pressing the
< button, it is necessary to set the function of the < button on the
