speed.

The shutter remains open as long as the shutter release button is kept

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.
- EV Compensation
- Exposure Bracketing
- AE Lock
- Continuous Shooting
- 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 K-AC115 (optional) when shooting
with a long exposure setting as the battery drain is high during Bulb shooting.
