Bulb Exposures

In a bulb exposure, the shutter remains open as long as you hold the shutter button down, and closes when you release it. Bulb exposures are useful for the long exposures required for night scenes, fireworks, etc.

2	Set the shutter speed to [			].
	● Look at the LCD panel and turn the 〈			〉
	dial to select [	].
	● The next setting after [		] is [	].

3	Set the aperture value.
	● Turn the 〈 〉 dial.

4 Take the picture.

● Press and hold the shutter button down fully.

During the bulb exposure, the elapsed exposure time is displayed on the LCD panel (1 to 999 seconds).

● Exposure continues as long as you hold down the shutter button.

●The elapsed exposure time displayed on the LCD panel is only counted up to 999 seconds. For accurate exposure time, check the information display for the exposed image. (→104)

●Long exposures exceeding 1 second result in increased noise introduced into the image, and reduce the quality of the image.

The Remote Switch RS-80N3 (sold separately), or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (sold separately) can be used to eliminate the need to hold down the shutter button.

In long exposures, some degree of noise can enter the exposed image. You can use the Long exposure noise reduction function to reduce the noise. (C.Fn-1→124)
