A
Long Time-Exposures
To prevent light entering via the viewfinder from appearing in the
photograph or interfering with exposure, we recommend that you
remove the rubber eyecup and cover the viewfinder with the supplied
eyepiece cap (
0
10). 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.
