• The exposure level indicator
appears on the control panel
screen, showing the difference
(ranging from -3 EV to +3 EV)
between the exposure value
calculated by the currently selected
aperture and shutter speed
compared to the exposure value
considered optimum by the camera.
Noise in images
During shooting at slow shutter speeds of 30 or
more seconds, noise may appear on-screen or the
image may be overly bright in the top left part of the
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. The noise
reduction function helps reduce this noise.

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 (up to 8 minutes). Set the shutter
speed to [BULB] in the M mode. Bulb shooting can also be done using an
optional remote control (RM-1).
