Exposure Mode Recording Precautions
•You may not be able to achieve the brightness you want when recording an image that is very dark or very bright. If this happens, use the M mode (manual exposure) to adjust the aperture or shutter speed manually.
•You can select the “BULB” setting in the S mode (shutter speed priority AE) or M mode (manual exposure).
•With the “BULB” setting, exposure continues as long as you keep the shutter button depressed, for up to 60 seconds.
•Note that when you are using the “BULB” setting, the record operation with the card remote controller (page
148)is different from the record operation on the camera.
•Using slow shutter speeds can cause digital noise (graininess) to appear in the image. Because of this, the camera automatically performs a digital noise reduction process whenever the shutter speed is 1/8 second or slower. The slower the shutter speed, the greater the possibility that digital noise will be generated in an image. If you notice digital noise in your images at very slow shutter speeds, try using a shutter speed setting that is faster than four seconds. Also note that the digital noise reduction process can cause it to take longer (about double the shutter speed setting or more) to record each image.
•At shutter speeds slower than 1 second, the brightness of the recorded image may not be the same as the brightness of the image that appears on the monitor screen.
