❚❚ Long Time-Exposures (M Mode Only) Select the following shutter speeds for long timeexposures of moving lights, the stars, night scenery, or fireworks. • Bulb (A): The shutter remains open while the shutter-release button is held down. To prevent blur, use a tripod or an optional wireless remote controller (0 309) or remote cord (0 310). • Time (%): Start the exposure by using the shutterrelease button on the camera or on an optional remote control, remote cord, or wireless remote # controller. The shutter remains open for thirty minutes or until the button is pressed a second time. Length of exposure: 35 s Aperture: f/25 1 Ready the camera. Mount the camera on a tripod or place it on a stable, level surface. To prevent light entering via the viewfinder interfering with exposure, remove the rubber eyecup and cover the viewfinder with the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap (0 60). To prevent loss of power before the exposure is complete, use a fully charged EN-EL15 battery or an optional EH-5b AC adapter and EP-5B power connector. Note that noise (bright spots, randomly-spaced bright pixels, or fog) may be present in long exposures; before shooting, choose On for Long exposure NR in the shooting menu (0 228). If you will be using an ML-L3 remote control, select a remote control mode (Delayed remote, Quick-response remote, or Remote mirror-up) using the Remote control mode (ML-L3) option in the shooting menu (0 127). 2 Rotate the mode dial to M.
