Choosing an exposure mode: 40 More on Photography Understanding the Exposure Displays The exposure displays show the amount pictures will be under- or over-exposed at the values currently selected for shutter speed and aperture. The control panel display is in EVs, rounded to the nearest EV. If the picture would be under- over-exposed by more than 9 EV, the display will show a flashing -9 (underexposure) or +9 (overexposure). If no operations are performed for about eight seconds, the display in the control panel will be replaced by the number of exposures remaining. The exposure display in the monitor or electronic viewfinder shows the amount exposure deviates from the value suggested by the camera in EVs (-2 to +2 EV in increments of 1/3 EV). Underexposed Overexposed -2 ±0 +2 -1 +1 (Values in EVs) Long Time Exposures For long time exposures of up to ten minutes, set Continuous ( 80) to Single and rotate the command dial to select a shutter speed of BULB or TIME. The length of time the shutter will remain open depends on the option selected for Exposure options > Bulb/Time ( 92): • Bulb release: When BULB is selected for shutter speed, the shutter will remain open for as long as the shutter-release button is held down, to a maximum of ten minutes. 8M BULB10M F5.6 15 • Timed release: When TIME is selected for shutter speed, the shutter will open when the shutter-release button is pressed and remain open until the shutter-release button is pressed again or the time selected in the Timed release menu has elapsed. 8M TIME30S F5.6 15 If possible, use a tripod to prevent blurring caused by camera shake.
