Enbee Posted May 27, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 27, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Got my Leica SL last week - have been trying to figure out how I can take long exposure shots in manual mode. Max I have been able to do is 60 seconds. Didn't find it in the manual either. Any help will be really appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Hi Enbee, Take a look here Leica SL Bulb Mode or Long Exposure. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

After FW 2.0, you should be able to use Manual mode up to 30 minutes, and metering will work as normal (as opposed to bulb where you have to do your own calculations and keep the shutter open).

Enbee Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted May 28, 2017 Thank You Vieri. I updated to FW 2.2 - but I was unable to get it to 30 min. I follow the following steps: 1. Switch to Manual Mode 2. Aperture to F22 3. Update shutter speed - I only get to 60 seconds Is there something I am missing? Thank You! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted May 29, 2017 Share #4 Posted May 29, 2017 what do you mean by 'update shutter speed' ?? with 'M' set on the press/rotate rear dial and any shutter/iso set you can rotate the shutter speed selector anti-clockwise through all the speeds to 30minutes and then B 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn rear dial until you see B and than back off one. Should be 30 minutes. If you really cannot get any longer exposure times, I'd bring the camera to Leica and have it checked. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the gentlemen said. In M mode, you should be able to turn past 60 seconds no matter what your aperture is. Best regards, Vieri 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexP Posted June 1, 2017 Share #7 Posted June 1, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) By any chance you have it on electronic shutter? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
