Notes & Features:	Optimized for astrophotography and other scientific applications. The infrared (IR) cut filter has been optimized to allow transmission of the hydrogen alpha spectral line, resulting in four times greater sensitivity of the 656nm wavelength. A new Long Exposure Manual Mode is implemented, giving users the ability to set shutter speeds from 4, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 600 or 900 seconds (15 minutes), as well as Bulb and Time settings. A new Virtual Exposure Preview Mode displays an estimated preview image and is available when shooting at shutter speeds longer than 30 seconds when in Live View mode.
