Choosing a Shutter Speed
In manual exposure mode, shutter speed is chosen by pressing ≤/≥ on the Multi
selector while holding down the 1 button. Options range from 8 sec. to 1/1000
sec. in increments equivalent to 1 EV (one step). In addition, a shutter speed of
“BULB” up to 60 sec. is available for long-time exposures.

Press ≤ for slower shutter speeds, ≥ for faster shutter speeds.
2
Confirm shutter speed in monitor.
Long-time exposure (up to 60 sec.)
•When the shutter speed is set to “BULB” (manual exposure mode only), the
shutter will remain open while the shutter release button is pressed (maximum
exposure 60 sec.). To reduce blurring caused by camera shake, we
recommend that you use a remote shutter release (the MC-EU1 Remote Cord,
available separately, functions as a remote shutter-release cable) and a tripod.
•At default setting, the noise reduction (p. 154) is automatically set when the
shutter speed is slower than 1 sec. in the long-time exposure.
Shutter speed limitations
•At a “CONTINUOUS” setting of “Ultra HS” (p. 139), the lowest available
shutter speed is 1/30 sec. At setting of m movie (p. 89), shutter speed
cannot be set to a value slower than 1/15 sec. “BULB” is only available at a
setting of “Single” (p. 139).
•Note that if the shutter is open for more than 1/4 sec. at any setting, mottling
(noise) may appear in the final picture. At speeds of 1/4 sec. Or slower, the
shutter speed indicator in the monitor turns yellow.
•At default setting, the noise reduction (p. 154) is automatically set when the
shutter speed is slower than 1 sec. in CSM shooting mode.
Choose high shutter speed to freeze action, low shutter speed to suggest
movement by blurring moving objects.
In manual exposure mode, the amount the picture would be over- or under-
exposed at the selected combination of aperture and shutter speed is displayed in
the monitor.
Display shows values between –2 and +2 EV in
increments of 1/3 EV.
