With [z3: Long exp. noise reduction], you can reduce the noise

generated during long exposures (p.185).

For bulb exposures, using a tripod and bulb timer is recommended.

Using mirror lockup (p.234) with bulb exposures is also possible.

You can also shoot bulb exposures by using Remote Switch RS-80N3 or

Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately, p.237).

You can also use Remote Controller RC-6 (sold separately, p.237) for

bulb exposures. When you press the remote controller's transmit button,

the bulb exposure will start immediately or 2 sec. later. Press the button

again to stop the bulb exposure.

You can preset the bulb exposure's exposure time. With the bulb timer,

you need not hold down the shutter button during the bulb exposure.

This reduces camera shake.

The bulb timer can be set only in the <F> (Bulb) shooting mode. It

cannot be set (or will not function) in any other shooting mode.
