Long Time-Exposures (M Mode Only)
Select the following shutter speeds for
long time-exposures of moving lights,
the stars, night scenery, or fireworks.
• Bulb (A): The shutter remains open
while the shutter-release button is held
down. To prevent blur, use a tripod or
an optional wireless remote controller
(0 287) or remote cord (0 287).
• Time (%): Start the exposure using the
shutter-release button on the camera or on an optional remote
control, remote cord, or wireless remote controller. The shutter
remains open until the button is pressed a second time.
Before proceeding, mount the camera on a tripod or place it on
a stable, level surface. To prevent light entering via the
viewfinder from appearing in the photograph or interfering with
exposure, remove the rubber eyecup and cover the viewfinder
with the supplied eyepiece cap (0 90). Nikon recommends
using a fully charged battery or an optional AC adapter and
power connector to prevent loss of power while the shutter is
open. Note that noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright
pixels, or fog) may be present in long exposures. Bright spots
and fog can be reduced by choosing On for Long exposure NR
in the photo shooting menu (0 255).
