•JSING A TRIPOD/TIME EXPOSURES AT "B" Using a Tripod The camera may be mounted directly to a tripod by screwing the tripod into the socket at the base of the camera. Be sure the tripod screw protrudes no more than 5.5mm (0.22 in.) from the tripod. This is the depth of your camera's tripod socket. Don't use a longer screw as it may puncture the bottom of the tripod socket if tightened too firmly. Finder Cap: When you make exposures with your eye away from the viewfinder while using a tripod (or at any other time), cover the viewfinder eyepiece with the accessory Finder Cap; otherwise, light entering from the rear may adversely affect the exposure. RE max • Time Exposures at "B" Exposures longer than 4 sec. exceed the range of the camera's electronic shutter and must be made at the "B" setting of the exposure mode dial. Here the shutter remains opened as long as the shutter release button is held depressed. To prevent movement of the camera during exposure, mount it on a tripod and attach a cable release to the hole in the shutter button to release the shutter. For exposures lasting several minutes or hours, use a cable release with a locking device. Li( 125 125' X 51 •

The

may
be
mounted
directly
to
a
tripod
by
screwing
the
tripod
into
the
socket
at
the
base
of
the
camera.
Be
sure
the

screw
protrudes
no
more
than
5.5mm
(0.22
in.)
from
the
tripod.
This
is
the
depth
of
your

socket.
Don't
use
a
longer
screw
as
it
may
puncture
the
bottom
of
the
tripod
socket
if
tightened
too
firmly.

When
you
make

(or
at
any
other
time),
cover
