How to set long (bulb) exposures

Solution

A bulb exposure starts when you press the shutter button completely and ends when you release the shutter button. Bulb exposures are useful when long exposure are required for night scenes, fireworks, heavenly bodies, etc. Remote Switch RS-60E3 (sold separately) is convenient since it frees you from holding down the shutter button during bulb exposures


Turn the Command Dial to <M>

Turn the dial until "BULB" is displayed on the LCD panel

  • "BULB" follows "30"

Select the desired aperture

  • Press and hold down the <Av+/-> button and turn the main dial

Frame the shot then press and hold down the shutter button completely for the duration of the exposure

  • The shutter remains open while the shutter button is press completely
  • During the bulb exposure, "BULB" blinks on the LCD panel
  • With a new set of batteries, a bulb exposure can be as long as about 4.5 hours at room temperature
  • A bulb exposure can be combined with multiple exposures
