116a: Manual ExposureTo obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be setautomatically (autoflash exposure) to match the manually-set aperture.The shutter speed can be set from 1/200 sec. to 30 sec. or <BULB>.A bulb exposure keeps the shutter openfor as long as you hold down the shutterbutton. It can be used to photographfireworks and other subjects requiringlong exposures.In step 3 on the preceding page, turn the<6> dial to the left to set <BULB>.The elapsed exposure time will bedisplayed on the LCD monitor.I Using the Built-in FlashBULB: Bulb ExposuresIn [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer], if the checkmark <X> for [Disableduring man expo] is removed, it can be set in the <a> mode (p.125).When ISO Auto is set, you can press the <A> button to lock the ISO speed.After recomposing the picture, you can see the exposure level differenceon the exposure level indicator (p.22, 23) compared to when you pressedthe <A> button.During the bulb exposure, do not point the lens toward the sun. Thesun’s heat can damage the camera’s internal components.Since bulb exposures produce more noise than usual, the image maylook a little grainy.When [z3: Long exp. noise reduction] is set to [Auto] or [Enable],noise generated by the long exposure can be reduced (p.127).If ISO Auto is set, the ISO speed will be ISO 400 (p.94).For bulb exposures, using a tripod and Remote Switch (sold separately,p.308) is recommended.You can also use a remote controller (sold separately, p.307) for bulbexposures. When you press the remote controller’s transmit button, thebulb exposure will start immediately or 2 sec. later. Press the buttonagain to stop the bulb exposure.COPY
