Selecting the right mode for the shooting technique — P, A, S and M<br />
Noise in images<br />
During shooting at slow shutter speeds of 30<br />
or more seconds, noise may appear onscreen<br />
or the image may be overly bright in<br />
the top left part of the screen. These<br />
phenomena are caused when current is<br />
generated in those sections of the CCD that<br />
are not normally exposed to light, resulting<br />
in a rise in temperature in the CCD or CCD<br />
drive circuit. This can also occur when<br />
shooting with a high ISO setting in an<br />
environment exposed to heat. The NOISE<br />
REDUCTION function helps reduce this<br />
noise. ~ “NOISE REDUCTION” (P. 105)<br />
Bulb shooting<br />
You can take a picture with a bulb exposure time in which the shutter stays open<br />
as long as you hold down the shutter button (up to 8 minutes). Set the shutter<br />
speed to [bulb] in the M mode.<br />
Bulb shooting can also be done using the optional power battery holder and<br />
remote cable.<br />
TIPS<br />
The picture looks blurred.<br />
T The possibility of camera shake spoiling your picture increases greatly when<br />
you take a picture at slow shutter speed. Use a monopod or tripod to<br />
stabilize the camera.<br />
To change the EV step interval:<br />
T In the menu, set the EV step interval to 1/3EV, 1/2EV or 1EV. ~ “EV STEP”<br />
