IMPORTANT!
• Shutter speed and aperture values appear on the
monitor screen in amber if the image is overexposed
or underexposed.
• It is often difficult to obtain proper brightness when
shooting a subject that is very dark or very light. In
such a case, try different shutter speed settings to find
the one that produces the best results.
.
• When shutter speed is set to "BULB", exposure con-
tinues as long as you depress the shutter button. Be-
cause of this, use of the optional remote shutter re-
lease is recommended whenever using the "BULB"
setting (page 103).
• The slowest shutter speed when "BULB" is selected is
60 seconds.
• Note that using a slower shutter speed increases the
chance of static being present in your image, and the
amount of static visible in an image is inversely pro-
portional to the shutter speed.
