Bulb Exposures; Attaching A Remote Cord (Sold Separately) - Minolta DIMAGE 5 Instruction Manual

RECORDING MODE

BULB EXPOSURES

Bulb photographs can be taken in the manual-exposure mode (M) (p. 71). Exposures
up to thirty seconds can be made by pressing and holding the shutter-release button.
The use of a tripod and a remote cord is recommended for bulb exposures.
Use the control dial (1) to decrease the shutter-speed
value below four seconds until "bulb" is displayed.
To set the aperture value, turn the Digital Effects
Controller to exposure compensation (2). While
pressing the digital effects button (3), turn the control
dial (1) until the correct aperture is displayed.
• The camera's exposure system cannot be used to
calculate bulb exposures. The use of a separate light
meter is recommended.
To take the picture, press and hold the shutter-release
button for the duration of the exposure.
• Releasing the shutter button will end the exposure.
• The monitors will be blank during the exposure.

ATTACHING A REMOTE CORD (SOLD SEPARATELY)

The optional remote cords (RC-1000S or RC-1000L)
can be used to reduce vibrations from touching the
camera during long exposures.
Remove the remote-control terminal cover.
• Use the notch on the left side of the cover.
• The cover is attached to the body to prevent loss.
Insert the plug of the cord into the terminal.
