Long Exposures
Bulb (B) Exposures | Time Exposures |
When the Shutter Speed Dial is set to B, the shutter will remain open as long as the Shutter Release Button remains depressed.
Since bulb exposure is also controlled electronically, the shutter will automatically close after approximately one minute in or- der to prevent inadvertent battery depletion.
When using bulb, after the Shutter Re- lease Button has been depressed for ap- proximately 55 seconds, a warning buzzer will sound. If pressure on the Release But- ton is maintained, the buzzer will continue for about 5 seconds longer, after which the electricity will be automatically cut off and the shutter will close. If exposures longer than one minute are required please, use the time exposures mode.
1.To make a time exposure, first slide the T Lever of the lens until the letter "T" under the lever is visible and the normal "N" making is covered. After doing so, the shutter will remain open upon depressing the Shutter Release Button. At this time, the setting of the Shutter Speed Dial on the camera body ceases.
2.To close the shutter, slide the T Lever in the opposite direction, exposing the letter 'N' (normal), During time exposures, do not touch the Cocking Lever until the shutter closes.
•Since the shutter operates mechanically, not electronically during a time exposure, there is virtually no drain of battery power, and the shutter speed dial can be set in any position other than "RBL".
