Shooting Long Exposures

You can set the shutter speed to a range between 1 and 15 seconds to
shoot long exposures. However, you should attach the camera to a tripod to
prevent the camera from moving and blurring the image.

The brightness of the image may differ from the brightness of the
screen in Step 3 when the shutter button was pressed halfway.
•
When shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds or slower are used, images are
processed to eliminate noise after being taken. A certain amount of
processing time may be needed before you can take the next shot.
•
You should set the [IS Mode] to [Off] when shooting with a tripod
