<2.Using the bulb exposure

mode buLb>

Use the bulb mode for nighttime or

astronomical photography requiring

long exposure times.

Set the exposure mode to “M”.

See page 31 for setting details.

Turn the R dial to “buLb”.

Set the aperture with the lens

aperture ring, and take the photo-

graph.

The shutter is released and the film is

exposed while the shutter button is

pressed.

• To prevent the camera from shaking, either

fix it to a tripod or place it on a stable sur-

face, and connect a separately sold LA type

cable switch to the camera and use it when

taking the picture.

• While the film is being exposed, the display

panel’s exposure counter switches to a

timer display indicating the elapsed bulb

shooting time. The counter counts from “00”

to “59” (59 seconds), then starts over from

“00”.

• The entire viewfinder display remains off

while the film is being exposed.

[Taking photographs with exposure compensation in the manual

exposure mode]

The exposure compensation appears

on the display panel.

The “+/-” exposure compensation

mark flashes in the viewfinder.

The exposure difference obtained

with the aperture and shutter speed

combination set for the camera is dis-

played in relation to the set exposure

compensation value on the exposure

meter in the viewfinder.

The “M” mark indicating the manual

exposure mode is displayed in the

viewfinder.
