“BULB” (Bulb shooting) is indicated next to “30” (page 40).
3 Press and hold the +/– (Exposure) button and turn the control dial to select the aperture.
z Shooting techniques
When shooting a moving person, car, or spindrift, etc., using the high shutter speed,
you can express moment that is beyond what the human eye can see.
When shooting a subject such as the flow of a river at a slower shutter speed, you can
create an image that captures the subject’s flowing movement. In such cases, use of a
tripod is recommended to prevent camera shake.
