IMPORTANT!
• It is often difficult to obtain proper brightness when
shooting a subject that is very dark or very light. In
such a case, try different shutter speed settings to find
the one that produces the best results.
• When shutter speed is set to “BULB”, exposure con-
tinues as long as you depress the shutter button. Be-
cause of this, use of the optional remote shutter re-
lease is recommended whenever using the “BULB”
setting (page 103).
• The slowest shutter speed when “BULB” is selected is
60 seconds.
• Note that using a slower shutter speed increases the
chance of static being present in your image, and the
amount of static visible in an image is inversely pro-
portional to the shutter speed.
• At shutter speeds of one second or slower, the cam-
era automatically performs internal data processing
intended to limit image static, so the image record op-
eration takes longer at slow shutter speeds. At shutter
speeds of one second or greater, doubling the shutter
speed setting tells you about how long it takes for an
image to be recorded. For example, image recording
with a shutter speed of one second takes about two
seconds.
• A shutter speed slower than 1/8 second can cause the
brightness of the image on the monitor screen to be
different from the brightness of the image that is re-
corded.
• Note that the shutter speed used when actually re-
cording an image is slightly off from the shutter speed
value you specify.
