sThe LCD panel will show the elapsed exposure time from 1 sec. to a maximum of 999 sec.

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

Since bulb exposures will have more noise than usual, the image will look rough or grainy.

With a fully-charged battery, a single bulb exposure can be as long as about 2.5 hours.

By connecting Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both optional) to the camera’s remote control terminal, you need not keep pressing the shutter button with your finger during bulb exposures. (→p.175)
