Long Time-Exposures
At a shutter speed of A, the shutter will remain open while the
shutter-release button is held down.
Use for long time-exposure
photographs of moving lights, the stars, night scenery, or
fireworks.
A tripod and optional remote cord (0 390) are
recommended to prevent blur.
1 Ready the camera.
Mount the camera on a tripod or place it on a stable, level
surface.
If you are using an optional remote cord, attach it to
the camera.
Shutter speed: 35 s; aperture: f/25
A Long Time-Exposures
Close the viewfinder eyepiece shutter to prevent light entering via
the viewfinder from appearing in the photograph or interfering
with exposure. Nikon recommends using a fully charged EN-EL15
battery or an optional EH-5b AC adapter and EP-5B 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; before shooting, choose On for the
Long exposure NR option in the shooting menu (0 277).
