Long Time-Exposures

Shutter speeds of “bulb” and “--” can be used for long time-exposure photographs of mov-

ing lights, the stars, night scenery, or fireworks. To prevent blurring caused by camera shake,

use a tripod or an optional remote control ( 33, 103).

To prevent loss of power before the exposure is complete, use a fully charged battery or an

optional AC adapter. Note that noise may be present in long exposures; before shooting,

choose On for the Noise reduction option in the shooting menu.
