Exposure

Noise in images

During shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena are

caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device that are not

normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup device or

image pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a high ISO setting

in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates the noise

reduction function.

g“Noise reduction” (P. 69)

The picture looks blurred:

j The use of a monopod or tripod is recommended when taking a picture at slow shutter speed.

j When the shutter speed is slow, camera shake is more likely to occur. You can reduce camera

shake by using the image stabilizer. g“Image stabilizer” (P. 60)

To change the exposure adjustment interval:

j This can be set in 1/3 EV, 1/2 EV or 1 EV increments. g“EV STEP” (P. 94)

To switch the operation between setting the shutter speed and aperture value:

j You can set the aperture value using only the control dial. g“DIAL FUNCTION” (P. 89)

x Notes

• Exposure compensation is not available in M mode.

Bulb shooting

You can take a picture with a bulb exposure time in which the shutter stays open as long as

you hold down the shutter button.

Bulb shooting can also be done using an optional remote control (RM-1). g“Bulb shooting

with the remote control” (P. 60)

In M mode, set the shutter speed to [BULB].

• [buLb] is displayed in the viewfinder and [BULB] on the super control panel.

To automatically end bulb shooting after a specified period of time:

j You can set the maximum time for bulb shooting. g“BULB TIMER” (P. 95)

To fix the focus during manual focus shooting:

j You can fix the focus so the focus does not change even if the focus ring is turned during

exposure. g“BULB FOCUSING” (P. 89)

x Notes

• The following functions are not available during bulb shooting.

Sequential shooing/self-timer shooting/AE bracket shooting/image stabilizer/flash bracketing
