Bulb Exposures - Minolta DiMAGE F200 Instruction Manual

Bulb exposures

Bulb photographs can be taken in the manual-exposure mode.
Exposures up to fifteen seconds can be made. A tripod is recom-
mended for bulb exposures. The camera's exposure system cannot
be used to calculate bulb exposures. The use of a separate light
meter is recommended.
The monitors will be blank during the exposure. Releasing the shutter button will end the exposure.
Noise reduction processing is applied to the image after the exposure. Noise reduction can be can-
celed in the custom 2 section of the setup menu (p. 98).
The optional remote control RC-3 can be used to eliminate the risk
of camera shake. Set the drive mode to remote control with the
drive mode button (p. 38). While pointing the remote control toward
the front of the camera, press and release either button to begin
the exposure; the delay button begins the exposure after two sec-
onds. Press either button again to end it.
