Long Time-Exposures (T/B)

Select a shutter speed of [T] (time) or [B] (bulb) for long time-exposures.

Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent the camera from moving during the exposure.

Time (T)

  1. Rotate the shutter speed dial to [T].

  2. Rotate the command dial to choose a shutter speed between 30 s and 2 s in steps of 1/3 EV.

  3. Press the shutter button all the way down to take a picture at the selected shutter speed. A count-down timer will be displayed while the exposure is in progress.

Bulb (B)

  1. Rotate the shutter speed dial to [B].

  2. Press the shutter button all the way down. The shutter will remain open for up to 60 minutes while the shutter button is pressed; the display shows the time elapsed since the exposure started.

Selecting an aperture of [A] fixes shutter speed at 30 s.

To reduce “noise” (mottling) in long time-exposures, select [ON] for [LONG EXPOSURE NR] in the shooting menu. Note that this may increase the time needed to record images after shooting.
