Time exposures

Time photographs can be taken in the manual-exposure mode. Exposures up to thirty seconds can be made. The use of a tripod is recommended. The camera’s exposure system cannot be used to calculate time exposures. A separate light meter can be used to determine the exposure.

Use the down key of the controller to decrease the shutter speed below 15 seconds until “T” is displayed.

Set the aperture using the left/right keys of the controller.

To take the picture, press the shutter-release button (1) once to begin the exposure. Press it again to end the exposure.

A message is displayed during the exposure. Noise-reduction processing is applied to the image after the exposure. Noise reduction can be canceled in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 91).
