Exposure level markviewfinder indicates the exposure level up to ±2 stops from the standard exposure index at the center. While you change the shutter speed and aperture, the exposure level mark will move. You can decide which exposure level to set.
Bulb ExposuresIn step 2, turn the <6> dial left to set <BULB>. A bulb exposure keeps the shutter open for as long as you hold down the shutter button. It can be used to photograph fireworks, etc. The elapsed exposure time will be displayed on the LCD monitor.
For bulb exposures, using a Remote Switch (p.164) is recommended.
Since bulb exposures produce more noise than usual, the image will look rough or grainy. You can reduce this noise by setting the [7Custom Functions (C.Fn)] menu’s [Long exp. noise reduction] (p.155) to [1: Auto] or [2: On].
The Auto Lighting Optimizer (p.156) will not work.
