∫About [B] (Bulb)

If you set the shutter speed to [B], the shutter stays open while the shutter button is pressed fully (up to about 4 minutes).

The shutter closes if you release the shutter button.

Use this when you want to keep the shutter open for a long time to take pictures of fireworks, a night scene etc.

•If you set the shutter speed to [B], [B] is displayed on the screen.

•When you take pictures with the shutter speed set to [B], use a sufficiently charged battery. (P20)

•We recommend using a tripod or the remote shutter (DMW-RSL1; optional) when you take pictures with the shutter speed set to [B]. Refer to P166 for information about the remote shutter.

•When you take pictures with the shutter speed set to [B], noise may become visible. To avoid picture noise, we recommend setting [LONG SHTR NR] in the [REC] mode menu to [ON] before taking pictures. (P121)

•The manual exposure assistance does not appear.

Note

•It will be a normal motion picture recording when recording a motion picture.

•The brightness of the LCD monitor/optional external viewfinder may differ from the brightness of the actual pictures. Check the pictures using the playback screen.

•If the exposure is not adequate, the aperture value and the shutter speed turn red and blink

when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

• [‡], [ ], [ ] and [ ] for flash cannot be set.

•The [SENSITIVITY] is automatically set to [ISO100] when you switch the recording mode to

Manual exposure while the [SENSITIVITY] is set to [AUTO] or [ ] (Intelligent).

•If you press the shutter button fully when the shutter speed is slow, the shutter speed on the screen counts down.

•When you use a lens with an aperture ring, the aperture ring setting takes priority.
