hold the shutter-release button

Bulb exposures

When making bulb exposures, noise can be more pronounced because of the unusually long

exposure times, especially at 400 or 800 ISO. When making long bulb exposures, a camera

sensitivity setting of 100 or 200 will produce excellent results. At higher ISO settings, using

shorter exposure times (8 seconds or less) will reduce the effect of noise.
