BULB
You can shoot a trailing image of the movement of a subject with long exposure.
BULB is suitable for shooting trails of light, such as fireworks.
1. Set the mode dial to M (Manual Exposure).
2. Turn the control dial clockwise until [BULB] is indicated.
3. Press the shutter button halfway down to adjust the focus.

You cannot set the shutter speed to [BULB] in the following situations:
When the [Smile Shutter] function is activated.
When the [Auto HDR] function is activated.
When [Picture Effect] is set to [HDR Painting] or [Rich-tone Mono.].
When the [Multi Frame NR] function is activated.
When the [Drive Mode] function is set to [Cont. Shooting], [Spd Priority Cont.] or [Self-timer(Cont)].
If you use the above functions when the shutter speed is set to [BULB], the shutter speed is
temporarily set to 30 seconds.
Hint
Images shot in [BULB] mode tend to blur. We recommend that you use a tripod or a multi-
terminal-compatible remote commander that has a shutter button lock function (sold
separately).
