B (Bulb) shooting mode

Use bulb shooting mode when you need to take pictures at night or in
low light conditions. This mode keeps the shutter open.
1. Rotate the shutter speed dial to B.
2. Rotate the aperture ring to select the desired value.
3. Pull back on and release the shutter charge lever.
4. Focus on the subject.
5. When the exposure looks right, press the shutter button all the way
down to take the picture.
Note:
❏ When you set NR (Noise Reduction) to Hi (High) in the Film Settings
screen and set the exposure at more than 2 seconds, noise reduction is
automatically performed after taking a photo. Do not turn the power off
until the SD card access light goes out. If you turn the power off before
the noise reduction procedure is complete, the image is saved without noise
reduction.
❏ When taking photos in B shooting mode, use a tripod or cable release to
prevent the picture from blurring.
❏ Install or remove a cable release as shown in the illustration below.
