Long Time-Exposures (M Mode Only)
Select the following shutter speeds for 
long time-exposures of moving lights, 
the stars, night scenery, or fireworks.
• Bulb (
A): The shutter remains open 
while the shutter-release button is 
pressed all the way down. Use a tripod 
to prevent blur.
• Time (
&): Start the exposure using the 
shutter-release button on the camera or on an optional 
remote control. The shutter remains open for thirty minutes 
or until the button is pressed a second time.
Before proceeding, mount the camera on a tripod or place it on 
a stable, level surface. To prevent light entering via the 
viewfinder from appearing in the photograph or interfering with 
exposure, we recommend that you cover the viewfinder with 
your hand or other objects such as an optional eyepiece cap 
(
0 268) before taking pictures without your eye to the 
0 68). To prevent loss of power before the exposure 
is complete, use a fully charged battery. Note that noise (bright 
spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog) may be present in 
long exposures.
Length of exposure: 35 s
Aperture: f/25
