fireworks.
A tripod and optional remote cord (0 394) are
recommended to prevent blur.

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 (0 114).
Nikon recommends using a fully charged
EN-EL18 battery or an optional EH-6b AC adapter and EP-6 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 (0 302).
