∫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 120 seconds).

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.

•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] menu to [ON] before taking pictures.

•The Manual Exposure Assistance does not appear.

•This cannot be used when [Electronic Shutter] is set to [ON].

•It can only be used with Manual Exposure Mode.

∫Constant preview

In Manual Exposure Mode, when [Constant Preview] in the [Custom] menu is [ON], you will be able to confirm the effects of aperture and shutter speed on the screen.

•Close the flash.
