Shooting Long Exposures

You can set the shutter speed to a range between 1 and 15 seconds to shoot long exposures. However, you should attach the camera to a tripod to prevent the camera from moving and blurring the image.

Select ≈.

Set the mode switch to 4, then select in Steps 1 – 3 on p. 47 and press the m button.

Select the shutter speed.

Press the o button.

Press the qr buttons or turn the  dial to select shutter speed, then press the m button.

Confirm the exposure.

When you press the shutter button halfway, the exposure for the selected shutter speed will appear.

The brightness of the image may differ from the brightness of the screen

in Step 3 when the shutter button was pressed halfway.

When shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower are used, images are processed to eliminate noise after being taken. A certain amount of processing time may be needed before you can take the next shot.

It is recommended to set the [IS Mode] to [Off] when shooting with a tripod (p. 139).

If the flash fires, the image may be overexposed. If this happens, set the flash to ! and shoot.
