Johnclare369 Posted August 5, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 5, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi All I recently upgraded to the Q2 from the Q. Love it. I've been shooting Leica about three years, I also have M10 and various lenses so I'm quite used to Leica. However, I've just come across a problem with my Q2 and would appreciate advice. Here's the situation: On the Q2 I wanted to shoot longer than 1 second exposure, so I turned the exposure wheel to 1+, then tried to increase exposure to, say 20 seconds by turning the thumbwheel, as I used to on the original Q. I am aware of the limitations re long exposures and high ISO so I set the ISO manually to 100. The camera won't go beyond 1s exposure, however much I turn the wheel. Turning the wheel the other way it only offers me 0.6 seconds. To check it, I then set the exposure to auto (A), and went into a dark room. Again, the camera will not set the exposure to above 1s. It may be a fault with my camera, or I may be doing something wrong. Any thoughts? JC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnclare369 Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted August 5, 2019 Hi AM I've tried turning the thumbwheel clockwise and anti clockwise, but no luck. Turning clockwise is sticks at 1s, anti-clockwise at 0.6 s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnclare369 Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share #8 Posted August 5, 2019 In fact I then went about resetting it to the way I had it, and got the same problem. So I guess I had assigned something else to that thumbwheel function. I've now reset it again and it works once more. Thanks again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
