Setting the Exposure Time (TIME EXPOSURE)

If you set the camera to TIME EXPOSURE, when you shoot, the shutter stays open for the time speci- fied. By setting an exposure time, you can capture the track of moving subjects such as fireworks and car lights, when you shoot a night scene. You can select an exposure time of 1, 2, 4 or 8 seconds.

To set the exposure Time, follow the steps below.

Turn the Mode Dial to 5(Shooting Mode). Press the Mbutton.

The Shooting menu appears.

Press the !" buttons to select Exposure Time.

Press the O button.

Exposure Time settings are completed.

Press the M button.

The Shooting Menu closes and the specified value is displayed on the bottom of the screen.

This setting will be used for shooting until you change it.

Press the #$ buttons to switch between displays as required.

Select [TIME EXPOSURE] and then press the O button.

At purchase, the setting is OFF.

When the camera is set to Exposure Time, the shutter speed is slowed, so the camera is subject to camera shake. Hold the camera firmly with both hands when you shoot.

If you set Exposure Time before shooting, the display on the LCD monitor remains cleared during shooting.
