Selecting a shooting mode
Selecting a shooting mode
• Use a tripod.
• Set the focus to infinity in manual focus mode when shooting fireworks,
etc. When the infinity position of the lens is not known, first adjust the
focus on fireworks that is set off in the same general area, then shoot
them.
• Use the Wireless Remote Commander (sold separately) (page 114).
Pressing the SHUTTER button on the Wireless Remote Commander
triggers BULB shooting and pressing it again stops BULB shooting. You
do not need to press and hold the SHUTTER button on the Wireless
Remote Commander.
• If you use a Remote Commander (sold separately) that is equipped with a
shutter button lock function, you can leave the shutter open using the
Remote Commander.
Notes
• When using a tripod, turn off the SteadyShot function (page 60).
• The longer the exposure time, the more conspicuous the noise on the image.
• After shooting, noise reduction (Long Exposure NR) will be done for the same
amount of time that the shutter was open. You cannot do any further shooting during
the reduction. To prioritize the timing of the shot rather than the image quality, set
[Long Exposure NR] to [Off] (page 150).
• When the Smile Shutter or Auto HDR function is activated, or when [Picture Effect]
is set to [HDR Painting] or [Rich-tone Mono.], you cannot set the shutter speed to
[BULB].
• If the Smile Shutter, Auto HDR function, or the [HDR Painting] or [Rich-tone
Mono.] setting of [Picture Effect] is used with the shutter speed set to [BULB], the
shutter speed is temporarily set to 30 seconds.
• It is recommended that you start BULB shooting after the temperature of the camera
drops to prevent the quality of the image from deteriorating.
5 Press and hold the shutter button for the duration of the
shooting.
As long as the shutter button is pressed, the shutter remains open.
