Aperture value The aperture value of a lens can be adjusted to controlthe amount of light reaching the image sensor. Whenopening the aperture (reduce the aperture value),objects closer and further away than the focusedsubject will be out of focus. When closing the aperture(increase the aperture value), the range in focusexpands forward and backward.

For the image stabilization at the time of takingpictures in the bulb exposure mode, it isrecommended to use a reliable tripod or shutterrelease (purchased separately).If you use a long shutter speed, the time takento save images gets longer as well. This is not aproblem of the product and you do not need toreplace the battery.When taking pictures for a long time by using thebulb shot function, we recommend to use the cameraafter fully charging the battery.When taking pictures in the mode of bulb exposure,

noise can occur in case of long-time exposure.Hence, it is recommended to set the noise reductionfunction.
