How can you do a long exposure on the HS30EXR when the camera only allows up to 30 seconds (and less in some ISO/lens combos?
1850382
It is possible & I have done it on my HS20EXR, but I do not have the instructions at my fingertips. Long story short - climbing accident 2 years ago. Mostly recovered now, but many personal items in storage or disarray. I can get the info for you, but it will probably take awhile. When I found out that there was no way of doing longer exposures on my HS20, it was disheartening, but the Studiohut remote timer did the job. Let me know if you do not get an answer from someone else & I will search for the instructions. I think that the answer to your question is on the Studiohut web site - maybe an instruction manual?

I am not familiar with the HS30EXR, but I can tell you that one of the drawbacks to many of Fuji's camera is an inability to override the exposure limit of 30 seconds. The engineers have built this deficiency into many of Fuji's cameras, including the default to the lower IOS - which normally wouldn't be a problem if you could override the .30 second limitation. A lower ISO means that you will have less grain in your image.

You are correct. A design flaw of this camera is that there is no "B" setting, so you cannot keep the shutter open longer than the max shutter speed.

This intervelometer also allows you to take long exposures. Most DSLRs limit exposure time to 30 seconds (but unlimited if you set to BULB an hold down the button). With this device you can set it to how ever long of an exposure you want (for example 60 minutes) and walk away and it will take a 60 minute exposure by itself. So this intervelometer can do time lapse photos, but it can also do extremely long exposures.

You would set your camera's exposure to 1 sec and then set the timer to 3 second intervals. So it would be 1 second for the exposure and 2 seconds in between shots.

Yes you can set the exposure time.According to the directions from 0sec to 99hr 59min 59s (in one sec increments)

Ah, yes, that's what I was looking for. Shutter speed seems a bit slow. At 300mm, you'd need a shutter speed of at least 1/500 sec to stop camera shake (assuming no IS). But your blurrier shot was at 1/320sec and the better one at 1/400sec. Plus a slower shutter speed allows more motion blurring. I'd suggest upping the ISO to 200 or 400 and shooting in TV mode for action shots like this.Also not sure what lens you're using but many of the consumer grade models are much sharper at f8 or f11.

Yes, it is. I often do this when I'm shooting a scene with a broad dynamic range of light and shadow that would be impossible for the camera to capture in one exposure. So I go to AEB (automatic exposure bracketing) and set it to take one exposure set for the highlights (+2), one exposure set for the mid tones (0), and one exposure set for the shadows (-2). I have my camera set on a tripod, set for aperture priority (Av), and set for one shot and the self-timer set for 2 secs. The camera, when you push the shutter once, will then, after the 2 second delay, fire three shots in succession, giving you three exposures that can be combined into one HDR (high dynamic range) image. I have software that combines these in my computer, but the Canon EOS 5D Mark III can now also do this combining of the three exposures in-camera. I hope this helps answer your question.

There is a small program called CHDK that you place on your SD card and gives the 300HS extraordinary added features without affecting the camera's orig firmware. Manual settings, manual exposure, time-lapse photography, raw mode and a host or others. The 300HS was just on sale at _taples for $107.50 + tax after an instant discount and their 20% off coupon, so this became a no-brainer. Good luck with whatever you choose.

Yes it does. I personally have taken 40+ second exposures. And yes you can have intervals and/or delays set with that as well.

Adjust the number of shutter actautions set to "--". That will allow you to keep taking frames until you stop the timer, or your memory card fills up.

My experience is it depends on how you set the camera up in the menu. You cam do a timed exposure or multiple exposures just like you can If you push the sitter button but you have to set it up first. I've taken 9 exposure HDR shots. You can't set any of this up with this device - has to be done in the camera first.

I figured out the aperture mode. This seems to be where the HS10 can take decent pictures. NOT pleased with exr auto, that is a crap shoot. So I am still so confused as to what camera is right for me. So frustrating. Still need to try the video as well. Oh, the free sony software was easier to use. I am having so many problems with SilkyPics. sends pics to my windows photo shop poorly, sometimes combining two pictures. GRRR

Sometimes one wants to use a slow shutter speed, for example, to blur moving water or even "erase" moving objects. Besides on-camera options such as low ISO and stopping down (which will increase depth-of-field -- something you may not want) one can use a Neutral Density filter to allow a longer exposure time. Always use a tripod for long exposures, and a remote shutter release is a good idea, too.

Try setting the camera to Shutter Priority and setting the shutter speed to 1/30 or faster. If the images are too dark set the ISO to a faster setting.

You simply set the timer to the length of the exposure you want then press the "timer start/stop" button. Or you can press the "Hold Button" and slide it froward. The will start the exposure and the timer will count the seconds or min. for you. When you get to 30 minutes, which seems rather long for astrophotography with out an EQ mount, you would slide the button back and the exposure stops. (FYI:Your camera would have to be set to "Bulb" for that kind of exposure:-) Clear Skies - For more on astrophotography visit Dakota Starry Nights on youtube

From reading the reviews it looks like there is both an interval timer can be set for just under 100 hours (I understand that to be as many exposures you can fit within 100 hrs) or you can choose an exposure count option in which it only provides up to 99 exposures. So if you want 720 frames, then you would want to go with the interval timer or not set a time at all for no limits.

There is a timelapse feature in EOS Utility - a FREE program that comes with the camera on the EOS Solution Disk. The Camera Settings/Remote Shooting selection has a timed setting where you can do interval shooting for timelapse.

Can one simply turn off the autofocus and use the manual focus ring while in video mode? I hope so, I just ordered a HS20. Should have it early next week.
