4 Press the shutter button halfway down to adjust the focus.

5 Press and hold the shutter button for the duration of the shooting.

As long as the shutter button is pressed, the shutter remains open.

Shooting techniques

Use a tripod.

Set the focus to infinity in manual focus mode when shooting fireworks, etc.

If you use a Remote Commander that is equipped with a shutter button lock function (not supplied), you can leave the shutter open using the Remote Commander.

Notes

When using a tripod, turn off the Super SteadyShot function.

The longer the exposure time, the more outstanding the noise on the image.

After shooting, noise reduction (Long exp.NR) will be done for the same amount of time that the shutter was open. You cannot do any further shooting during the reduction.
