Shooting Long Exposures
You can set the shutter speed to a range between 1 and 15 seconds to
shoot long exposures. However, you should attach the camera to a tripod to
prevent the camera from moving and blurring the image.
• • The brightness of the image may differ from the brightness of the
screen in Step 3 when the shutter button was pressed halfway.
• • When shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower are used, images are
processed to eliminate noise after being taken. A certain amount of
processing time may be needed before you can take the next shot.
• If you attach the camera to a tripod, you should set the [IS Mode] to
[Off] (p. 123).
If the flash fires, the image may be overexposed. If this happens, set the
