• 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, 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.

J You can take a picture with a bulb exposure time in which the shutter stays open as long as you

also be done using an optional remote control (RM-1).
