• When using a camera with a CMOS image sensor, moving objects may appear distorted due to the rolling shutter phenomenon. This is a physical phenomenon whereby distortion occurs in the filmed image when shooting a fast-moving subject or due to camera shaking. In particular, this phenomenon becomes more noticeable when using a long focal length.

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. Time the end of the exposure to suit the subject. Use for night landscapes and fireworks. In M mode, set the shutter speed to [BULB].

# Cautions

• Maximum 15 minutes (default)

• The maximum exposure time of bulb shooting depends on ISO sensitivity.

• To reduce camera shake for bulb shooting, mounting the camera on a stable tripod or using a remote cable (sold separately) is recommended.

Noise in images

While 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 “c Custom Menu” (P. 68)

# Cautions

• During panorama shooting, the image previously taken for position alignment will not be displayed. With the frames or other markers for display in the images as a guide, set the composition such that the edges of the overlapping images overlap within the frames.
