Set manual shutter speed for long exposure photographs

To my suprise, i can not manually set the shutterspeed of the camera (a big disapoinment from iphone which can do this and i had before) i want to photograph waterfalls and create dreamy scenes.
4.3 did not fix this, anyone know if 4.4 update will adress this?
Is the problem with Sony or Android, since there are NO apps on google play that support long exposure in full resolution.
Anyone?

While we get an answer, perhaps understanding shutter speed will be a good idea for those who doesn't know how it works

How do I set the Shutter Speed in Manual Mode on my EOS 70D

I recently was forced to upgrade to a Canon 70D after my 50D died from a fall. I am not happy with the ease of setting the Shutter speed while in Manual mode. The only way I can currently set the shutter speed while in Manual mode, is to go to the info screen and set the shutter speed with the touch screen. The manual states that I should be able to set the Shutter speed with the Main Dial, behind the shutter release. ( which is how it was on the 50D). I can control the Aperture with the quick control dial. The Function Lock button is off.
I am sure this is do to some setting I have wrong, that is not allowing me to fix this issue, but I cant figure out what it could be after hours on the net and in the manual. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this issue.
Thanks
Gene

Another possible solution is to use a battery grip on your 70D and see if the dial on the grip will change the shutter speed.
There are some discussions about this problem on some earlier models Canon DSLR. Check it out.

Manual shutter speed Lolipop?!

Hi
In stock google lolipop manual camera controls like manual shutter speed is enabled.
But from what i can see, sony has not used that in their variant of lolipop.
Is there a reason for this?
I was gladly looking forward to taking long exposure photographs with lolipop, but it seems i won´t be able to.
Anyone know more about this decision?
Thanks
AD

I agree with you, I've been waiting for this option since back on the Xperia X10

Setting different mouse speed for different mice

I have an Apple Magic Mouse that I've used with my iMac for a while. I recently picked up a wireless Kensington laptop mouse for my 4 year-old twins to use because the Magic Mouse is difficult for my daughter to use. The Kensington mouse is good because it is smaller and has two obvious buttons for her to use.
The problem is that the Kensington mouse tracks way faster than the Magic Mouse. Is there a way (either through preferences or third party software) to set a custom speed for each mouse?
thanks!

USB OverDrive can customize speeds and button behaviouir differently for different input devices. You should remove the Kensington mouse driver. However it does look as if it disables Apple's own Magic Mouse drivers without replacing some of the facilities, so you would need to research that before proceeding.
Also note that USB OverDrive is so far not compatible with the Magic Trackpad, and prevents the latter's Prefs Pane from loading (thus preventing you setting gestures) so if you were thinking of getting a Magic TrackPad, USB Overdrive isn't a good purchase.

Suggestion - 5D3 minimum shutter speed for auto ISO

Hi, I would like to make a suggestion to Canon on the 5D3 camera, with regard to the minimum shutter speed for auto ISO. Currently I find that most of the selectable shutter speeds are on the low side (mostly below 1/125), and this may not be useful for handheld photography, or for fast moving subjects. I would like to suggest the following:
- More minimum shutter speed settings faster than 1/125 including in-between speeds e.g. 1/160 (between 1/125 and 1/250)
- Automatic shutter speed based on a multiple of lens focal length e.g. 2x lens focal length (for both prime and zoom lenses)
I hope that Canon can come up with an updated firmware that does this. Thanks.

Good idea, you can add it to the thread "Firmware Update Wishlist", and "Canon dSLR Wish List?" because a proper, configurable, flexible auto ISO is much needed and would beneficiate all cameras, not only 5D3.
I am not sure what Magic Lantern can give you on that issue, but you can take a look at their page.
Now, as a short term solution, on 1D4 I have put the cfns for 'shutter speed range' and 'iso speed range' in MyMenu, and when I need I change the max ISO (usually 1600) and a min shutter seepd (depends on lens and subject) on the fly. Not very practical (many button push needed), but it works.
I hope that helps

6D vs 5d-mk3 for long exposure high ISO

Some on line info of unkown accuracy shows the 6D has better long exposure high ISO performance. This is known as amp glow.
The intended usage would be for astro phorotgraphy or night photgraphy where 30 second exposures at ISO1600 and up are required.
I already have a 5D-mk3 comming for evaluation where I will compare it to my 1DS-mk3. But I thought this is a good question for this forum. It seems strange that the lower cost camera would have supperior performance.
Anyone have personal experince or a technical explanation? Or is the information incorrect?
The same info also shows a vast improvement over the 1DS-mk3 and 5D-mk2

I know this topic is long dead, but somehow I was searching more comparisons at night shooting scenario between 6d vs 5dm3 and came across that topic (also in this forums here).
I think that below article comparing 6d to 5dm3 (and later also to 5dm2) at iso 3200 & 6400 with 15 sec & 30 sec exposure time, shows pretty good results in favor of 6D. the maker of that comparison also intended to use 6D camera for astrophotography.

Set default mouse speed for guest user?

Anyone know how, where to set a default mouse speed for all users. I have an iMac running Maverick. I set my personal mouse speed near the highest. The default speed is the same slow pace for the guest profile and I would like to change and KEEP it a little faster. Currently when I log out of guest account, all settings, files, etc are deleted. I am admin so ... anyone? Help? Something akin to the windows registry? I'm a newbie to Mac OS X, but learn quick.

Hi,
Try with SHD0 (Transaction and Screen Variants) .

Unable to set manual IP address for VPN connection

Recently a VPN connection with a client stopped working. They changed phone companies and changed some of the IP addresses.
After alerting them I could no longer log in, I received the new server address which I can log in with it,
BUT my computer is assigned a dynamic address that is already in use on their network. This causes my computer to *not* be connected to their network, even though I am inside their firewall; therefore I cannot adjust the database files I need to.
I have tried to set the VPN (PPTP) connection TCP/IP address IPv4 manually, using the static address they just gave me. But each time I connect, [I believe] their router assigns me an address that is already in use.
They do not use IPv6.
Can anyone give me direction on how to make the manual IP address *stick*?
The tech person at the site keeps telling me it is a problem with my "Mac, because with Windows.... blah, blah, blah".
I am pretty sure this is not the case and in fact I was the one who let her know I was receiving a duplicate address.
Your VPN expertise is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Michele

Hi,
Please make sure the Ad hoc connection IP adress is at the same range with your local connection. In addition, how about recreate the ad hoc connection for test, please have a try.
If problem persists, please use Network troubleshooter in Action Center to fix this problem for test.

Shooting at higher shutter speed for added benefit of stills with RED

The RED Scarlet is renowned for its ability to capture still frames from the video stream. This is great in a photoshoot where you can dial in 1/200th sec shutter, but being a video shooter I can't make use of this great feature as I'll be shooting at 1/50th of a second to emulate a 180 degree shutter angle.
I mainly shoot music videos, where my clients are keen on as many stills as possible during the production process. I figured that it would be theoretically possible to light the scene a little more and speed up the shutter to somewhere in the region of 1/125th sec in order to get less motion blur in the still frames.
Would it then be possible to artificially induce some motion blur in order to emulate a 1/50th sec shutter in Premiere? Is this more hassle than its worth for the payoff of added stills? As the frames are also crisper it becomes easier to slow down the footage in After Efficts with the help of Twixtor or something similar,This would be a big bonus!
Thanks,
Ross

If it were me, I'd just hire a photographer.

Setting duplex and speed for NIC

Can anyone tell me what the correct way is to set the duplex and speed on a NIC is in Solaris 10? I know that you can use the "ndd" command to manually set them but I'm looking to having this done automatically when the machine boots. So far, I can think of putting these commands inside /etc/system but I'm really looking for the correct way of doing things.

The correct way would be to set it in the config file for your interface's driver, usually found in /kernel/drv. For example, T5220s come with e1000g interfaces. You can use /kernel/drv/e1000g.conf to configure a whole lot more than just duplex and speed.

Best way to set up paragraph spacing for long documents

Hi everyone. I'm getting back to using Indesign again. I'm constructing large ancillary materials and the editors don't like the in between paragraph spacing through out the entire document. I used styles but there are many different formatting styles throughout the document. I found instead of doing this globally, I had to go in and adjust everything manually using the paragraph palette. Anyone have any ideas for the next time I set up a document? _struggling in monterey

Styles are definitely the right way to go. Set up spacing in the styles, and it can be adjusted or removed globally.
Is it possible that you aligned to a baseline grid (which would make sense in a long doc in many cases, and you have styles that use different leading? You need to be very careful about grids, leading and spacing to be sure that all the numbers add up or you can wind up with some really large gaps.

Setting uplink/downlink speed for QoS on WRT300N

I've setup QoS on this router to give my 2 voip box's high priority, http/email/video traffic medium priority, and bittorrent low priority. The problem is, there is no place to tell the router how fast my connection is.. uplink/downlink speed isn't an option. And right now the QoS isn't being effective, and low priority data is blocking high priority. How do i configure this router to manage bandwith?
Firmware Version is 0.93.9

Hi… Make sure you have setup correct port no under QOS. Especially check the ports used by bit torrent. Assign a Particular port to bittorrent if needed and set low priority to it. Also limit the no of peer connection per download and no of simultaneous downlaods. Also make sure that you have setup port triggers and not forwarding for your VOIP boxes

How do i set manual ip addresses for connect to wifi network which had setted with manually ip addresses?

i had set ip addresses for my home wifi network manually,and now i want to connect my iPhone5 to this network.the phone can't connect.what i have to do?after changing the wifi network setting (channels and another things)i cant connect even.i want to reslove this problem.would you help me?!

Just thought I would bump this up in the conversation. Doing a further search I came across this discussion which is similar: Connecting to a wireless network via applescript?
However, I tried to build the Automator application as discussed and cannot get it to work. Very much a novice at Applescript and Shell Script but have created customized Automator services before. All I get now is "Shell Script command encountered an error". No more detail. I copied and pasted the script as shown in the email thread. Is there any other line or command I need to place in front of it?
Thanks again for any help

Is there an updated way of setting QuickTime streaming speed for iChat?

I've been using iChat screen share to help a friend. The first time we tried it, it worked well; the second time, however (same computers), the image of the screen I recieved was suddenly very low resolution (too low for me to see what I'm doing). It sometimes clears up after around 30-40 seconds, but once a window is moved, etc, the problem reoccurs, making the process tedious to the point that I don't think I'd go through this. I saw in a previous community tip that changing the streaming speed in Quicktime can resolve this issue; they specified that this must be done through the Quicktime icon in System Preferences, and not through the standard Quicktime app.. that was for OS 10.5.6; on my OS (10.6.8, and the new QT), Quicktime is now missing from the System Preferences panal : /.. I also saw a user comment on another site saying, "Basically, [the new] QTX lacks the option to pick your codec, frame size, data rate, and so on." So was QuickTime's streaming speed function lost, and do I really need Quicktime to accomplish better image quality for iChat? If it can't be fixed, is there a better screen sharing utility I can get that won't have these problems? Thanks for any help : )..

Hi,
Back before iChat 4 the Video part of iChat chats was based on the reading the app ttok from the Internet speed it could see.
This speed was directly effected by the then System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab setting.
Basically the Automatic Setting was read a 0 (zero) kbps.
The Fastest Setting of Intranet/LAN also got messed up (it would not return a figure iChat could use)
For that reason we used to Suggest that people use the 1.5Mbps T1/Intranet/LAN setting
This limited Video streaming by any app to 1500kbps both as Upload and Download (this is fact a rough figure based on using base 10 rather than the true binary based math involved)
At iChat 4 Apple made iChat see the Automatic setting as 384kbps
This should be fast enough for 4 way Video chats as the Host end. (the person that invites the others)
By Snow Leopard (iChat 5) the Quicktime Setting has gone in System Preferences.
The way iChat "reads" the Internet Speed is different and it is not restricted by Quicktime.
The only way to Cap iChat now is the App Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit
Apple state the minimum Internet speed that iChat should have for Screen Sharing is 128kbps
Internet Speeds tends to be based on Binary multiple at lower speeds - 56kbps is max Dial-up Modem speed
128kbps is obviously twice that. The next speed split is like to be 265kbps
Check that you and your Buddy have at least 128kbps as Upload as well as download.
http://www.speedtest.net/
Ideally it should be faster as at that speed you can lose between 10 and 20% in the test and the overheads of running the connection to the ISP
Setting the Bandwidth (in iChat) at 500kbps at both ends can eradicate the variances you can get in slower Internet speeds.
In Snow Leopard Quicktime has become Quicktime X and does have issues playing some Quicktime 7 movies.
This also applies to Lion and Mountian Lion
However there are ways to install the Quicktime 7 Player that will cover the codecs that may not be played.
This info does not apply to iChat though.

Set Manual Account Assignment for movement types.

There is a movement type for which I set "Field is suppressed" with OMB6. Then, on the UI of MB1A, I couldn't see the "account number" field. But on UI of MIGO, the "account number" is still available for user to maintain. Is there anything wrong? Shouldn't I to config this with "OMB6"? Please help. Thank you.

0001:::VAX:::::7920:::::::5XXX30
0001:::VAY:::::7920:::::::6XXX30
