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.

  • 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.

  • Cyber-shot HX20/HX30V - the shutter speed setting

    I am unable to what anyone slower 1/4 second value my shutter speed (in manual mode). I should be able to reach a speed as slow as 30 seconds.

    I can adjust the ISO setting (currently fixed at 100) and I can set the aperture and I can set the shutter speed to the faster speeds of up to 1/1600 of a second - setting a slower speed that 1/4 of a second escapes me.

    Any ideas?

    Hey, you forget.

    I did a complete reset and now it works as advertised.

  • 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.

  • Very slow download speeds

    I just bought a macbook 12 "that I love. The only problem is I noticed very slow download speeds when downloading apps. I have also a 13 "macbook pro that I use on the same internet connection and downloads very quickly.  I have not tried to download any music or video yet, so I don't know if it's just a problem with applications, but it is ridiculously slow. It's a trait of these macbooks little, or something may be wrong?

  • What is the shutter speed of the camera of 1722?

    Does anyone know what is the shutter speed of the camera of 1722?  I only see the framerate in the documentation, but not the actual shutter speed range.  I know that this will depend on the lighting.

    I would like to know if this camera is designed to capture an obvious target without blur, moving at 0.5 m/s on a conveyor line.

    Minimum exposure of the 1722 is 36,28 microseconds and the exposure time increment is 31.2 microseconds.

    For more information that what is in the datasheet, you can download the manual.

  • Canon HS SX600 how do I change the shutter speed? Thank you

    I need to change the shutter speed but manual is confusing

    Thank you for an excellent response.

  • How can I change the shutter speed on my Sony a37?

    While I'm on the Auto program my shutter speed is not the right number I want to. I do not know how to change it and wonder what to do?

    In program auto mode, the camera automatically determines the combination of speed and the appropriate scene shutter opening. If you want to use a specific shutter speed, it would be best to take pictures in the priority shutter (S) Mode. Please set your mode dial on S and then spin the front dial to adjust the shutter speed.

  • 50 d shutter speed

    I just bought a 24-70 f2.8L USM mm to go with my 50 d which is letting me use higher shutter speeds but I noticed that when I take the speed indicated in the camera viewfinder is much lower than the speed indicated by the metadata when I display the photo. The difference is not constant but can be 100%!  I always use Camera Raw camera format. Why I see this difference? The photos are properly exposed so part of me says "why worry" but I'm stumped.

    Your shift 'security' is enabled.

    See p 175 of your manual.  "When the brightness of the erratic Exchange topic and auto correct exposure cannot be obtained, the camera will automatically change the settiing exhibition in order to obtain correct exposure."

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • SHUTTER SPEED ON DSC-H400

    How can we change the speed of hutter on Sony DSC-H400 in order to take better pictures of moving objects?

    Set mode S to control shutter speed (and having the camera automatically adjusts the opening and ISO), or M mode to fix everything manually yourself.

    I believe that the H400 has these modes, do not remember.
