Shutter speed too slow AV mode for sunrise timelapse (low light)

Hi all!

First, I'm a bit embarressed to ask this question because I am sure that its entry level but stuff I posted in several other forums to establish what is the problem im trying and I now reduced to a simple question... I think so..

I'm trying to shoot a timelapse of the sunrise. At dawn when the unit is in AV mode, due to the low light it seems be frezzing up when I go to take a picture. I realize now its not freeze until his tusing simply a shutter speed to compensate for the lack of light.

The problem is, I see a lot of tutorials of timelapse of Sunrise, and they all recommend using AV mode because of the changing light conditions.  (I had to use manual mode with a small opening in the end and to halfway through once the Sun rose my photos were all horribly over exposed)

How can I combat the problem of low light in order to use my camera in AV mode for photos with 4 second intervals?

At the moment I can't use it at dawn because the shutter speed slows down so that it does not make a timelapse.

Any comments would be massivly appriecated.

Thank you!

OK, let's go.

AV and Tv are really semi-manuel exposure modes.  You are setting the aperture or the shutter and waiting for the camera to select the oppisite.  If you have selected an Av which requires a shutter speed too long to take the correct exposure, you will get very long shutter.

You can up the ISO, or select a larger BC.

  • WRT110 wireless speed too slow

    Wired connection from the computer to my new WRT110 Acer laptop to dual-core with 2 MB of RAM is really very fast.  (G-band) wireless speed is slower than dial-up or slower.  I can't use it yet!  The signal is strong.  How can I improve speed?  My older work laptop Lenovo sitting right next to my Acer wireless connection is very fast.

    No, not the firewall problem.  I changed the MTU of 'auto' on 'manual' and changed default value of 1500 to 1300.  I don't know what an MTU, but it is an improvement of the DRAMATIC speed on wireless.

  • Someone had problems with the shutter speed on the Canon 70 d?

    I've used a Canon 60 d which was brilliant! My husband bought me a 70 d at Christmas as a surprise. However, I have problems with the shutter speed. In automatic mode, everything is fine but on manual, Av, Tv etc I seem to be unable to change the shutter speed of a very slow release. I want to know if the unit is defective somehow, or if there is something I should be doing that I'm not. Please can someone advise/inform me what I can do wrong or if it's something I should take with Canon?

    First of all, you need to reset your 70 d to the factory settings. Check your manual for more information on how to do it.

    You can't troubleshoot anything until you are zero squared.

  • EOS Rebel T3 shutter speed does not not even on Auto

    Hello community Canon!

    I didn't know really how title this problem, but I'm absolutely stumped. So recently my EOS Rebel T3 has been really act. As either the mode I am on (automatic creation, no Flash, etc.), with the exception of the manual mode, the camera will be whatever all black or all white. This is due to the camera to take photos either 1/4000 or 30 "shutter speed (even on auto mode!) I don't know why he chose only those extremes for shooting, I turn in any light. Any thoughts?

    Elrond140

    First thing is to reset the camera to factory settings.  Cancel all the settings, remove the battery from the day to the next.

    Then, you must make sure that the battery and charger will not function properly.  It is basic, but to do.

    And finally get a NEW SD of high quality which is fromatted by the camera, nothing else.

    Try again, with the camera on the green square and go outside with a good daylight.

  • Satellite Pro M70-113: the modem speed is too slow

    Hello

    I have a satellite pro m70-113 laptop.
    The problem is that I am not able to web surf, when you are connected to the Toshiba software modem that is integrated, because the speed is too slow.
    Connecting about 40 Kbps, but I can't even open the yahoo site just because it's very slow. I mean it seems that there is no data transfer... I have to wait 5 min load yahoo.com!
    I tried uninstalling, reinstalling the drivers, but the problem is the same...

    And on the same telephone line, when I connect to the net on my desktop, I get a decent speed. If the problem is not telephone line or my ISP, but something on my laptop hardware modem, or its drivers.

    Please can someone help me...

    Thank you, hoping for an answer...

    Hello

    Please check the maximum speed of the port and set it to the maximum level. You can find it in the properties of the modem in Device Manager.

  • In video mode shutter speeds

    I just read that the T3i can autofocus in video mode, true?

    On T5i shutter speed is adjustable during the video?  Sometimes I need fast shutter for objects moving quickly are not blurred.

    Hi erokc!

    Thank you for posting.

    The EOS Rebel T3i can autofocus, but it works the same when shooting still images.  You need to activate the focus automatically every time you want the camera to focus the lens and before you start recording.  Continuous autofocus is not possible.

    When you're shooting in manual on the EOS Rebel T5i, the shutter speed, the aperture and ISO can be set manually.

  • Slow shutter speed

    I have an a99 and I wanted to set the shutter speed to for more than 30 seconds, but I can't do it, even in manual mode. Help. Thank you very much.

    The A99 motorway has shutter speeds selectible of 1/8000 to 30 seconds, over the bulb. If you want to set the shutter speed to something more than 30 seconds, you must use the parameter B (bulb) and push the button for the desired exposure time. You can do this by physically holding the button, or you can use a remote control or an intervalometer.

  • Adobe elements editor 12 suddenly too slow to work after working perfectly for weeks

    After having made several highlight videos for recruitment purposes, Adobe elements editor 12 suddenly became too slow to work.  Using a MacBook, I get the wheel of death, no matter what I asked it to do, and try to do something with video materials other than to play at normal speed causes the video to freeze in place.  Does anyone have an idea what could change so quickly?

    stryker4909

    I'm strictly a Windows of the elements user. That being said, your problem description... files. mov (id) caught my attention.

    What is the file name complete for one of these problem files. I found a name online... (id) .mov - HD.mp4. Do you have anything in your afterlife (id) .mov file name?

    What happens if you rename the file

    a. If you see now .mov (id), then just remove the (id)

    b. If you have now (id), mov - HD.mp4, then simply delete the .mov (id) - HD, leaving just a .mp4 file.

    I took 'a' and 'b' in elements of first 12/12.1 on Windows 7 64 bit and it has not made a difference... any both in the program without problem.

    I don't know why Mac could be rename some of your files, but would it be the name change process which slows down things. Is there file storage / recording of locations that need to be explored? Is the name of the file to the left of the .mov (id) change also when appears the .mov (id)?

    Just some thoughts.

  • SONY NEX 5 - problem with setting of the shutter speed shutter priority mode

    Hello

    I strictly followed the instructions in the manual, but when I'm in the mode S (shutter priority mode), by the rotation of the wheel there is no change in the shutter speed and I don't know why.

    On the screen, above the wheel icon is written Tv.

    Please, advice me how to solve the problem. In that I'm wrong.

    The same situation that I have and with the Apperture mode.

    Thank you!

    HI ILesishki,

    I apologize for the inconvenience that was done to you. Let me see if I can help. I suggest the initialization of the device to its default settings to solve the problem. Just click on the Menu button, then choose Setup. Go to main settings and look for reset default. After the reset, turn the camera and see if the problem is still there.

    If so, I suggest to send the camera in for service. I recommend that you visit our Sony Global Web site for more information on contacting the Sony's Support centre in your area to http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.

  • In the shutter priority mode returns only white/bright images with shutter speeds

    When I put my camera DSC-HX60V for priority mode on the shutter, and then select a shutter by more than a second, every image I just take I gives a completely white, you can´t see anything other than white.

    The shutter speed, the more white.

    It doesn´t matter what environment I try this, inside, outside, light, dark etc... Well as it s a little better in darker situations.

    As soon as I increase speed (from a second 1 "), the apperture icon will begin flashing.

    I ve tried to refocus and all that, but I can´t seem to take a photo without zoom and 'shutter speed of 30 seconds.

    I guess that it s me some thing wrong, but then I need advice, I bought the camera because I want to shoot the water falling with the 3 to 30 seconds shutter speed, but it does not work good for me.

    Anyone want to help a noob?

    shutter 1 "even a very small opening in the light of the day you will give a light exposure, no matter what you do. You could try an ND filter if you are looking to shutter speeds more. The way in which the work of shutter priority is changes the size of the opening to try to get the right exposure, and it may not do everything within the limits of the lens.

  • Help! My Lenovo T60 Thinkpad too slow for life...

    Hello

    So I got my Lenovo T60 for like a year and a half, and until two months ago, it worked well enough (he got the occasional fan at first error message place however) and then all of a sudden he started bluescreening, as it would not go past the Welcome screen. So I installed Windows 7 and it worked fine for 3 weeks, then again bluescreening. So I decided to go back to XP. Establishment lasted 2 days (no, I'm not exaggerating) and since then, it takes 30 minutes just to start. And although I can't do anything on this issue because it is too slow; a simple command such as opening a folder takes 10 minutes! Has it damaged something by installing Windows 7? What can I do to make it normal again? Thanks in advance

    Looks like a bad HD for me. You need to check the bad sectors, which can be easily made to initialize with a linux LiveCD/USB and by running disk utility it. It will report on the SMART status of your drive, and I suspect that your HD to be riddled with bad sectors, ergo long boot time and BSOD.
