BULB EXPOSURES
Bulb exposures can be taken in the manual-exposure mode. 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.

Aperture 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.
A tripod is recommended for bulb exposures. If the light level prevents the camera from focusing, use manual focus (p. 47).
Date Model
The optional IR Remote Control RC-3 can be used to open and close the shutter for bulb exposures in the remote-control drive mode (p. 32). The delay button (1) delays the release of the shutter for two seconds; the flash fires four times before the shutter opens. The release button (2) fires the shutter without a delay; the flash fires once before the shutter opens. Pressing the buttons a second time ends the exposure.
