To set the long exposures, you have to go in the Manual mode (M)in the P.A.S.M settings and move the shutter speed under 1 second...

For these pictures, I used some exposure times between 3 and 16 seconds!!

I used a flash light and moved it in a dark room while the camera was taking the picture

[align=left]I'm just wondering... Could you just go into shutter priority mode and set the shutter speed, then it would set the Aperture accordingly? And get the same result?

I love long exposure shots :-)

Was that an LED flashlight?

And don't you mean exposures OVER 1 second

[Boily]

Yes it was a led flash light and exposures were between 3 and 16 seconds!!

I see that you did yours withsom cake sparkles
Great picture

Yes it would work but here is a little tip!!

Do you know that F2.8 is sharper than F8.0?

Now that you know it, you should always use F2.8, I personally think that the results are superior:-)

So in the Manual mode you just have to set the aperture to F2.8 and put the good shutter speed!

Are you sure Boily? I could have sworn that the higher the f-stop the sharper your pictures would be... because I usually use low f-stops to get a blurred background and just one point in focus...
