Note:

❏ If you set the shutter speed at a high value, you can shoot even a fast moving subject as if it is a stationary subject.

❏ To avoid blurring, set the shutter speed faster than “1 sec./focal length.” If you set a slow shutter speed, it is recommended to use a tripod.

B (Bulb) shooting

3.Maneuver the shutter charge lever.

Note:

❏When you set NR (Noise Reduction) to Hi (High) in the Film Settings screen and set the exposure at more than 2 seconds, noise reduction is automatically performed after taking a photo. While the noise reduction is being performed, do not turn the power off until the SD card access LED is unlit. If you turn the power off before the noise reduction procedure is complete, the image before the noise reduction is saved.

❏When taking photos with the bulb function, use a tripod or cable release to prevent the picture from blurring.
