Noise in images
During shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena are
caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not
normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup device or
image pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting
in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise
reduction function.

TIPS
The picture looks blurred:
j The use of a monopod or tripod is recommended when taking a picture at slow shutter speed.
j When the shutter speed is slow, camera shake is more likely to occur. You can reduce camera
shake by using the image stabilizer. g"Image stabilizer" (P. 60)
To change the exposure adjustment interval:
j This can be set in 1/3 EV, 1/2 EV or 1 EV increments. g"EV STEP" (P. 94)
To switch the operation between setting the shutter speed and aperture value:
j You can set the aperture value using only the control dial. g"DIAL FUNCTION" (P. 89)

Bulb shooting

Bulb shooting can also be done using an optional remote control (RM-1). g"Bulb shooting
with the remote control" (P. 60)
In M mode, set the shutter speed to [BULB].
• [buLb] is displayed in the viewfinder and [BULB] on the super control panel.
TIPS

j You can set the maximum time for bulb shooting. g"BULB TIMER" (P. 95)
To fix the focus during manual focus shooting:
j You can fix the focus so the focus does not change even if the focus ring is turned during
exposure. g"BULB FOCUSING" (P. 89)
