BULB EXPOSURES

Bulb exposures can be taken in the manual-exposure mode (p. 38). Bulb allows the shutter to remain open for as long as the shutter-release button is pressed. The camera’s exposure meter cannot calculate bulb exposures; a separate light meter is recommended.

 

In manual-exposure mode, use the

 

control dial (1) to decrease the shutter

 

speed until bulb appears in the shutter-

speed display on the data panel.

Press and hold the exposure-

 

compensation button (2) and turn the

 

control dial to select the aperture.

 

Press and hold the shutter-release

 

button for the duration of the exposure.

 

The optional remote control RC-3 can

 

be used open and close the shutter (p.

 

52).

A tripod is recommended for bulb exposures. If the light level prevents the camera from focusing, use manual focus (p. 48).
