Have seen max time in T mode for shutter speed listed as 15 mins and  60 mins in bulb mode.

how do I set a time longer than 30 seconds so I can work on my long exposure photography.

I've tried the app in bulb mode I cant get it to lock it just has a max of 30 seconds  or in T mode set it  longer than 30 seconds,

any help would be much appreciated.

thank you

If your lens is set to Aperture Priority  — the switch is moved to the A position for those that have it, or the menu choice is turned on for those that do not have it — the camera will only allow a maximum shutter speed of 30 seconds in any of the T or B settings. Turn off Aperture Priority and you can use bulb settings that go much longer.

The bad news is in T shutter speed mode, the maximum is still going to be 30 seconds. You can get an intervalometer, connect it to your camera via the external release jack, set the camera shutter to B mode and use the intervalometer to give you the timed longer sequences, or use a remote release switch and a watch.

thank you for you speeding response.

i have ordered a remote to allow the b setting use a bit easier as you suggested. just a cheap one for now. 

would be great if i could get the b mode to work in the app it functions only at 30 seconds same a t mode no hold or lock function as I can see so its the remote for me.

thank you for your help.😀

      X-Pro 2 Freeze and stop working

      By SaschaD · Posted

      My very much loved X-Pro 2 has a serious problem for a long time but I can’t help myself, it’s too good to just sit on a shelf.    Last year the display had started weird pink colors and the camera was freezing after a few seconds. First I thought the screen was the problem but when I get into the menu at once, the screen looks fine. After some seconds or when I am trying to get the the configuration part of the menu, the camera will freeze again.    when I turn it off the screen stayed on for about a second. But I can’t turn it on again even after the screen finally went black. I need to remove the battery and insert it again and then I can turn it on again. But the problem is there again and again. today I saw that there was a new firmware update 5.11 that is said to fix a freezing problem and I thought to give it a last try. Ironically I could successfully make the firmware update with no problems. Somehow terrifying to make a firmware update when you don’t know if the camera might freeze during the process. But everything went fine. Problem is the same as before. I tried different batteries and different lenses and without a lense. Always weird pink colors on the screen and finally freezing. Any suggestions from the community?    Or perhaps help from Fuji?

      X-T5 blurry corner-to-corner pictures?

      By BobJ · Posted

      I repeat - there is something wrong. I have the same lens and an x-t5 and do not experience any sharpness problems. It may be that there are problems with a 150-600 lens, I don't  know, but mjoseph67 is using the 16-55. Make sure the af is set to focus priority and that you do not have af with mf set (if you have you could be accidentally moving the focus ring after autofocus). If that doesn't help get your camera and lens checked out.

      High-contrast scenes creating too dark JPGs with X-T50??

      By pw-pix · Posted

      Perhaps matrix/evaluative metering mode would be a better choice in more circumstances. We need to be aware of how the camera will see the scene and choices it might make, I find having the viewfinder set to "exposure preview" or whatever it's called is helpful in knowing when to apply exposure compensation.

      x100F - shimmer in EVF & LCD after shutter release

      By garyfallon · Posted

      This is what I found on a firmware update that seems to address the problem. However, firmware version is at Ver. 211 already. As stated above this occurrence only happens using the EVF and at apertures between f2.0 and 3.6. It does not happen using the OVF or LCD. The firmware update Ver.2.11 from Ver.2.10 incorporates the following issue: The phenomenon is fixed that when pressing the shutter button halfway under certain conditions, the live view can flicker.

      High-contrast scenes creating too dark JPGs with X-T50??

      By Tvir · Posted

      Hi! Thanks for this comment! Yes, although I'm utterly happy with my X-T50, small, light, sharp pictures, Xapp functioning, I've got to know that the camera tends to emphasize contrast in contrasty scenes. In a way this is strange to me, as X-T50 mostly exposes very well. This is especially expected with photos with foliage. Of course, I would like that the behaviour would be different. When I'm taking travel and such pictures I choose for JPG format (not HEIC, as Mac's Photos opens them oddly very slowly; iPhone's HEICs open fast ...). With JPG I've chosen to use the DR400 setting, but the problem is still there. For "more important" photos I of course use the RAW format. Regards, T.
