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.

Choose ≈.

Choose in Steps 1 – 3 on p. 54 and press the m button.

Choose the shutter speed.

Press the o button.

Press the qrbuttons to select the shutter speed, then press the m button.

Confirm the exposure.

When you press the shutter button halfway, the exposure for the chosen shutter speed will appear on the screen.

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.

You should set the [IS Mode] to [Off] when shooting with a tripod (p. 119).

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