aperture value.

• It is not possible to use Bulb photography for more than 30 seconds. The
shutter will automatically close about 30 seconds after the shutter button was
pressed.

If you set the D-dial to the self-timer with setting Bulb, the shutter will be
released with 1/180 second. (1/200 second will be displayed in the image

[On].
