• The aperture value can be set in increments of 1/3 EV or 1/2 EV. Set the exposure steps in [1. EV Steps] of the [ACustom Setting 1] menu. (p.106)

•Use a sturdy tripod and the cable switch CS-205 (optional) or Remote Control (optional) to prevent camera shake when using pmode. Connect the cable switch to the cable release terminal (p.20).

•When using the remote control, set whether to start exposure with a press and stop it with another press of the shutter release button on the remote control, or to keep the shutter open as long as the release button on the remote control is kept pressed. Set in [19. Remote Control in Bulb] of the [ACustom Setting 3] menu.

•The sensitivity cannot be set to [ISO AUTO] in pmode. If the exposure mode is changed to pmode when the sensitivity is set to [ISO AUTO], the sensitivity is also changed to the lowest value set in “Setting the Range of Automatic Sensitivity Correction” (p.84).

•There is no limit on exposure time for Bulb shooting. However, we recommend the use of the AC adapter kit (optional) when shooting with a long exposure setting as the battery is being drained while the shutter remains open. (p.52)

Using the MMode

The shutter speed is locked at 1/180 second. Use this when using an external flash that does not automatically set the sync speed.
