How to set long (bulb) exposures

Solution

In bulb photography, the shutter remains open as long as the shutter button is held down. When you release the shutter button the shutter will close. Use this function when long exposures are required, such as when shooting night shots or fireworks. Make sure the camera does not move during exposure by using a tripod or placing it on some other steady surface. Bulb photography can be mad easier by using the release lock function on the Remote Switch RS-60E3

Set the command dial to M

Turn the electronic input dial until the shutter speed is set to bulb (after 30")

Set the desired aperture value by turning the electronic input dial while pressing the exposure compensation button

Compose the photograph and take the picture. The shutter will remain open as long as the shutter button is held down

  • The bulb indicator on the display will blink while the bulb photography is being taken
  • When using new batteries about six hours ob bulb photography can be carried out
  • Bulb photography can be combined with the multiple-exposure function
