Notes
• Since the shutter speed becomes slow and the camera shake tends to occur more easily, it is
recommended that you use a tripod.
• The longer the exposure time, the more conspicuous the noise on the image.
• After shooting, noise reduction (Long Exposure NR) will be done for the same amount of time that the
shutter was open. You cannot do any further shooting during the reduction.
• When the [Smile Shutter] or [Auto HDR] function is activated, you cannot set the shutter speed to
[BULB].
• If the [Smile Shutter] or [Auto HDR] function is used with the shutter speed set to [BULB], the shutter
speed is temporarily set to 30 seconds.
