In this mode, the shutter stays open as long as you hold down the 
shutter button completely, and closes when you let go of the shutter 
button. This is called bulb exposure. Use bulb exposures for night 
scenes, fireworks, the heavens, and other subjects requiring long 
exposures.

Set the Mode Dial to <F>.

 

While looking at the LCD panel or the 
viewfinder, turn the <6> or <5> 
dial.

 

The exposure will continue for as long 
as you keep the shutter button 
pressed completely.

X

The elapsed exposure time will be 
displayed on the LCD panel.

Long exposures produce more noise than usual.

 

If Auto ISO is set, the ISO speed will be ISO 400 (p.156).

 

For a bulb exposure, if you use both the self-timer and mirror lockup 
instead of the bulb timer, 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. If you use the bulb timer under the 
same shooting conditions, you need not hold down the shutter button 
completely.

 

Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun 
on a sunny day or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may 
damage the image sensor or the camera’s internal components.
