Picture Quality for Long Exposures

At longer shutter speeds the camera will automatically take a
second exposure with the shutter closed in order to measure
and reduce the noise (grainy look) in the image. In these cases,
the exposure will seem to take twice as long as expected. For

dark for 2 seconds until the noise reduction frame is exposed.
This means that at longer shutter speeds, you may not be able
to take quite as many shots back-to-back.
