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 Underexposed Overexposed shows the amount exposure deviates from the value suggest- -2 ±0 +2 ed by the camera in EVs (-2 to +2 EV in increments of 1/3 EV). -1 +1 (Values in EVs) Long Time Exposures For long time exposures of up to ten minutes, set Continuous ( 88) 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 ( 99): • Bulb release: When BULB is selected for shutter speed, the 8M shutter will remain open for as long as the shutter-release button is held down, to a maximum of ten minutes. • Timed release: When TIME is selected for shutter speed, BULB10M F2.8 126 8M the shutter will open when the shutter-release button is pressed and remain open until the shutter-release button TIME30S F2.8 126 is pressed again or the time selected in the Timed release menu has elapsed. To prevent blurring caused by camera shake, turn the self timer on and use the ML-L3 wireless remote ( 42). When BULB or TIME is selected for shutter speed, the shutter will open when the remote control shutter-release button is pressed and remain open until the shutter-release button is pressed again or the specified time has elapsed (ten minutes at a shutter speed of BULB). If possible, use a tripod to prevent blurring caused by camera shake (turn vibration reduction off when using a tripod). To reduce mottling, use noise reduction ( 109). More on Photography 51
