Using the Bulb Shooting

• Bulb shooting is available only when using a lens that has a lens shutter.
• In Bulb shooting, the following functions are not available.

- Continuous Shooting

- Exposure Bracketing

- EV Compensation

- AE Lock

- Interval Shooting

- HDR Capture

- Shake Reduction

• Bulb shooting ends compulsorily once the exposure time exceeds 32 

seconds.

• Use a sturdy tripod to prevent camera shake during Bulb shooting.
• The upper sensitivity limit for Bulb shooting is ISO 1600.
• We recommend using the AC adapter kit (optional) when shooting with a long 

exposure setting as the battery drain is high during Bulb shooting. (p.40)
