During the bulb exposure, do not point the lens toward the sun. The
sun's heat can damage the camera's internal components.
Since bulb exposures produce more noise than usual, the image might
look a little grainy.
_ You can reduce the noise due to lon£ exposures by setting [4: Long exp.
noise reduction] to [1: Auto] or [2: On] in the [_ Custom Functions
(C.Fn)] (p,253).
For bulb exposures, using a tripod and Remote Switch [sold separately,
p.262) is recommended.
You can also use a remote controller (sold separately, p.261) for bulb
exposures. When you press the remote controller's transmit button, the
bulb exposure wil! start immediately or 2 sec. later. Press the button
again to stop the bulb exposure.
