Exposure on 30" with X-E2

[Froschphoto]

The "bulb" setting maxes out at 30 seconds, I tired holding the shutter release to see if it would go over 30, but it doesn't. Is there a way of going beyond a 30 second exposure with the X-E2? I tried remotes plugged into the 1/8 jack but that does nothing beyond the 30 seconds.

Dang should say "Over" in the header.

have you tried the good old threaded, cable shutter release that the camera allows for?

Milandro, I thought the old style cable release, but my thought was holding down the shutter for as a test would be about the same, but maybe not. I probably have an old threaded cable release buried somewhere . . .

The manual says 60 minutes on Bulb. Setting aperture to "A" forces 30 seconds. So try a manual aperture setting. (FW4.0 p. 50)

Found the reason it wasn't working, the "Drive" setting has to be on single or still, I typically have it set to high speed.
