1Ready the camera.

Mount the camera on a tripod or place it on a stable, level surface. To prevent

#

light entering via the viewfinder interfering with exposure, remove the rubber

eyecup and cover the viewfinder with the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap (0 86).

 

To prevent loss of power before the exposure is complete, use a fully charged

 

EN-EL15 battery or an optional EH-5b AC adapter and EP-5B 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 (0 218).
