 Bulb shooting

You can shoot a trailing image of the movement of a subject with long
exposure.
Bulb shooting is suitable for shooting trails from stars or fireworks, etc.

1

Set the mode dial to  (Manual Exposure).

2

Turn the rear dial clockwise until [BULB] is indicated.

3

Select the aperture value (F-value) using the front dial.

4

Press the shutter button halfway down to focus.

5

Press and hold the shutter button for the duration of the
shooting.

As long as the shutter button is pressed, the shutter remains open.

Hint

• When shooting fireworks, etc., focus at infinity in manual focus mode. If you

use a lens whose infinity point is unclear, adjust the focus on the fireworks in
the area you want to focus on in advance.

• In order to perform bulb shooting without causing the image quality to

deteriorate, we recommend that you start shooting while the camera is cool.

• Images shot in [BULB] mode tend to be blurry. We recommend that you use

a tripod and a remote commander (sold separately) that has a shutter button
lock function. Use a remote commander supporting connection via multi/
micro USB jack.
