❚❚Long Time-Exposures (MMode Only)
Select the following shutter speeds for long time-exposures of moving lights, the stars, night scenery, or fireworks.
•A: The shutter remains open while the shutter-release button is held down. To
prevent blur, use a tripod or an optional MC-DC2 remote cord (0 231). The
shutter-release button on the MC-DC2 performs the same role as the camera shutter-release button.
•B: Requires an optional ML-L3 remote control (0 231). Start the exposure by pressing the ML-L3 shutter-release button. The shutter remains open for 30 minutes or until the button is pressed a second time.
#1 Ready the camera.
Mount the camera on a tripod or place it on a stable, level surface. To prevent loss of power before the exposure is complete, use a fully charged EN-EL20 battery or an optional EH-5b AC adapter and EP-5C power connector. Note that noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog) may be present in long exposures; before shooting, choose On for Long exposure NR in the shooting menu (0 179).
