Can the shutter be set to manual and expose longer than 30 seconds?

Manual shutter settings can be made from 1/2000 second to 30 seconds. Exposures longer than 30 seconds are not possible according to the Sony website.

From the owners manual: By adjusting shutter speed, you can shoot a moving object with a different representation, such as freezing action, or emphasizing movement with its trace. 1. Set the mode dial to (Shutter Speed Priority Shooting). 2. Press on the control button, then select the desired value. 3. Focus on your subject and shoot. The aperture value is set automatically to achieve correct exposure. You can shoot at your favorite exposure by manually setting shutter speed and aperture value. 1. Set the mode dial to (Manual Exposure Shooting). 2. Press on the control button. 3. Select the desired shutter speed, and select the aperture (F value). Select a shutter speed from 1/2000 seconds to 30 seconds. When zoom is set fully to W, you can select an aperture of F3.4 or F8.1. When zoom is set fully to T, you can select an aperture of F6.5 or F8.0.

Not that we're aware of. We just recently bought the camera and haven't used it much. It does have a time-delayed option -- as in setting up the camera for a shot and joining in the picture. But not a time-elapsed feature that we know of.cj

On my d90 and d3300, it does take longer intervals. The idea is that this will hit the shutter release button for you at any time interval you set, so u can put it on any setting. But make sure to have the focus on manual or it'll refocus every shot before taking it.

Yes, simply hold down the button on the controller for about 1-2 seconds and let go, but with mine I've notice that it doesn't stay locked for long especially with long exposer time lapse photos, for example: 30 second exposer over a period of an hour, it only took about 3-4 photos every time, I eventually had to babysit the shutter release and my camera to make sure it was actually taking the photos... It could be just mine that's defective... Still works great though!

Yes. You have a manual setting were you can control the shutter and the light opening.

I don't believe so. You can set f stop and shutter speed manually for a still frame picture, but I believe once you put the camera on video, it is all automatic.

Aloha Phi, Yes it can if you set your camera to bulb, the remote switch has a locking mechanism that slides over the switch to continuously keep the shutter open. You'll have to manually time yourself though, as no timer is built in.

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.

The Auto mode attempts to do this automatically (see manual page 44) but you can also control it directly by using Shutter Priority mode with a speed above 1/250. See manual page 49.

Yes....you can choose between two delayed settings: 2 seconds or 10 seconds. It's a GREAT little camera for the price especially. Takes terrifically clear shots and is very easy to use. I've enjoyed this camera very much

Yes there is. Set the exposure dial to "P". This is the programed (automatic) mode.

You can put your camera on the continuous shooting mode and as long as you depress the button, it will continue to shoot. I do not think you can set the self timer to automatically do the same.

Although I have used the remote to trigger my camera, I have not tried the extended exposure part. The instructions do say when you activate the trigger and push it forward it will lock the shutter open for timed exposures. Sorry I haven't been able to use it more often.

why would you? you can use the camera's delayed shutter timer. besides you would have to be at the remote's cord distance.. it's not wireless.

It can be set in manual mode or by using shutter preferred setting which allows aperture to be set with auto shutter

I haven't used the manual setting alot, but yes, you can set the shutter speed to 1 second or more, also you can change the f-stop under this setting.

Yea you can, instead of using timer however you just use the shutter control which will just continue until uoi go back and stop it
