BULB EXPOSURES

Bulb exposures can be taken in the manual-exposure mode. Bulb allows the shutter to remain open for as long as the shutter-release button is pressed. The camera’s exposure meter cannot calculate bulb exposures; a separate light meter is recommended.

Aperture

In manual-exposure mode, use the control dial (1) to decrease the shutter speed until bulb appears in the shutterspeed display on the data panel.

Press and hold the exposurecompensation button (2) and turn the control dial to select the aperture.

2

Press and hold the shutter-release button for the duration of the exposure.

A tripod is recommended for bulb exposures. If the light level prevents the camera from focusing, use manual focus (p. 47).

Date Model

The optional IR Remote Control RC-3 can be used to open and close the shutter for bulb exposures in the remote-control drive mode (p. 32). The delay button (1) delays the release of the shutter for two seconds; the flash fires four times before the shutter opens. The release button (2) fires the shutter without a delay; the flash fires once before the shutter opens.

Pressing the buttons a second time ends the exposure.
