❚❚ Long Time-Exposures (M Mode Only)
Shutter speeds of “bulb” and “time” can be used

Mount the camera on a tripod or place it on a stable, level surface.

noise may be present in long exposures; before shooting, choose On for the
Long exp. NR option in the shooting menu (0 148).
If you are using an
optional remote cord, attach it to the camera.
