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 60). 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 (0 228). If you will be using an ML-L3 remote control, select a remote control mode (Delayed remote, Quick-response remote, or Remote mirror-up) using the Remote control mode (ML-L3)option in the shooting menu (0 127).
