Time Exposures - Minolta Dimage Z1 Instruction Manual

Time exposures

Time photographs can be taken in the manual-exposure mode.
Exposures up to thirty seconds can be made. The use of a tripod is
recommended. The camera's exposure system cannot be used to
calculate time exposures. A separate light meter can be used to
determine the exposure.
A message is displayed during the exposure. Noise-reduction processing is applied to the image after
the exposure. Noise reduction can be canceled in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 91).
