You can set both the shutter speed and aperture as desired. With flash, the flash exposure will be set automatically to match the aperture that was set. The flash sync speed can be set within 1/200 sec. to 1/30 sec. or to bulb.

	The exposure level indicator in the
Exposure level mark	viewfinder 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 Exposures

In 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.
