a: Manual Exposure
A bulb exposure keeps the shutter open
for as long as you hold down the shutter
button. It can be used to shoot fireworks
and other subjects requiring long
exposures.
In step 3 on page 169, turn the <6>
dial to the left to set <BULB>. The
elapsed exposure time will be displayed
on the LCD monitor.
BULB: Long (Bulb) Exposures
Elapsed exposure time
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun
or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image
sensor or the camera’s internal components.
Since long bulb exposures produce more noise than usual, the image
may look slightly grainy.
If ISO Auto is set, the ISO speed will be ISO 400.
When shooting bulb exposures, if you use both the self-timer and mirror
lockup, keep pressing the shutter button completely (for self-timer delay
time + bulb exposure time). If you let go of the shutter button during the
self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-release sound, but no
picture will be taken.
You can reduce the noise due to long exposures by setting [z4: Long
exp. noise reduction] to [Auto] or [Enable] (p.151).
For bulb exposures, using a tripod and a remote switch (sold separately,
p.385) is recommended.
You can also use Wireless Remote Control BR-E1 (sold separately,
p.382) for bulb exposures. When you press the BR-E1’s release button
(transmit button), the bulb exposure will start immediately or 2 sec. later.
Press the button again to stop the bulb exposure.
You can turn off the elapsed exposure time display by pressing the
<U> button.
