3. Recording Modes
Recording Mode:
If you set the shutter speed to [B] (Bulb) during manual mode, the shutter stays open while
the shutter button is pressed and held fully.(Up to approximately 30 minutes)
The shutter closes if you release the shutter button.
Use this when you want to keep the shutter open for a long time to take pictures of
fireworks, a night scene etc.
Bulb recording
• We recommend using a tripod or the shutter remote control (DMW-RS2: optional) when
you take pictures with the shutter speed set to [B].
• When you take pictures with the shutter speed set to [B], noise may become visible. To
avoid picture noise, we recommend setting [Long Shtr NR] in the [Rec] menu to [ON]
before taking pictures.
