IMPORTANT!

It is often difficult to obtain proper brightness when shooting a subject that is very dark or very light. In such a case, try different shutter speed settings to find the one that produces the best results.

When the Shutter Speed is set to “BULB”, exposure continues as long as you depress the shutter button. Because of this, use of the wired remote control unit is recommended whenever using the “BULB” setting.

The self-timer is disabled while the Shutter Speed is set to “BULB”.

The slowest shutter speed when “BULB” is selected is 60 seconds.

Note that using a slower shutter speed increases the chance of static being present in your image, and the amount of static visible in an image is inversely pro- portional to the shutter speed.

At shutter speeds of one second or slower, the cam- era automatically performs internal data processing intended to limit image static, so the image record op- eration takes longer at slow shutter speeds. At shutter speeds of one second or greater, doubling the shutter speed setting tells you about how long it takes for an image to be recorded. For example, image recording with a shutter speed of one second takes about two seconds.
