Shooting with the Bulb Setting or Time Setting (When
in m Mode)
Use the Bulb setting or Time setting to capture images with a long time-exposure,
such as when taking pictures of fireworks, night landscapes, the night sky, or car light
trails. The maximum exposure time for both the Bulb and Time setting is 60 seconds.
1 Stabilize the camera by using a tool such as a tripod.
• Select Off for Vibration reduction (A171) in the setup menu.
• See “Using a Tripod” (A23) when using a tripod.
2 Rotate the mode dial to m.
• Set ISO sensitivity to Auto, Fixed range auto, or 100.
• Set Continuous (A133) to Single.
3 Rotate the command dial to a slower
speed until the shutter speed indicator
displays Bulb or Time.
4 Press the shutter-release button after
setting the focus.
• Bulb: Hold down the shutter-release button until
the desired exposure time elapses.
• Time: Press the shutter-release button all the way
down again when the desired exposure time elapses.
• When the exposure time reaches 60 seconds, the shutter automatically closes and
shooting ends.
