BULB EXPOSURES

can be made by pressing and holding the shutter-release button. The use of a tripod and a remote
cord is recommended for bulb exposures. The camera's exposure system cannot be used to calcu-
late bulb exposures. The use of a separate light meter is recommended.
Use the control dial (1) to decrease the shutter-speed until "bulb" is

displayed.
To set the aperture value, turn the digital effects switch to expo-
sure compensation (2) position. While pressing the digital
effects button (3), turn the control dial (1) until the correct aper-

for the duration of the exposure. Releasing the shutter button

The monitors will be blank during the exposure. If on, the shutter
sound effect will signal the end of the exposure. The monitors will
remain blank for a period equal to the exposure time while noise-
reduction processing is applied to the image.

ATTACHING A REMOTE CORD (SOLD SEPARATELY)

The optional remote cords (RC-1000S or RC-1000L) can be
used to reduce vibrations from touching the camera during long
exposures.
Remove the remote-control terminal cover using the notch on
the right side of the cover. The cover is attached to the body to
prevent loss.
Insert the plug of the cord into the terminal.
