Since bulb exposures will have more noise than usual, the image will look rough or grainy.
With a fully-charged battery, a single bulb exposure can be as long as about 2.5 hours.
By connecting Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 ( optional) to the camera's remote control terminal, you need not keep pressing the shutter button with your finger during bulb exposures.
