Bulb Shooting

3. Turn the <> dial to the left to set <BULB>.

4. To set the aperture, hold down the <> button and turn the <> dial.

CAUTION

During the bulb exposure, do not point the lens toward the sun. The suns heat can damage the cameras components.

REFERENCE

• The elapsed exposure time will be displayed on the LCD monitor.
• Since bulb exposures produce more noise than usual, the image may look a little grainy.
• When [ : Long exp. noise reduction] is set to [Auto] or [Enable], noise generated by the long exposure can be reduced.
• If ISO Auto is set, the ISO speed will be ISO 400.

NOTE

• For bulb exposures, using a tripod and Remote Switch (sold separately) is recommended.
• You can also use a remote controller (sold separately) for bulb exposures. When you press the remote controllers transmit button, the bulb exposure will start immediately or 2 sec. later. Press the button again to stop the bulb exposure.
• With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E8, the continuous bulb shooting time will be as follows: approx. 2 hr. 30 min.

IMPORTANT

• For bulb exposures, set the IS switch to <OFF>. If <ON> is set, Image Stabilizer misoperation may occur.
• AEB cannot be used with bulb exposures.
• You cannot set [Multi Shot Noise Reduction] for bulb exposures.
• If you use the self-timer and bulb exposure in combination with a mirror lockup, keep pressing the shutter button completely (self-timer delay time + bulb exposure time). If you let go of the shutter button during the self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-release sound, but no picture will be taken.
