Hello! I would like to make timelapse (sunset). But the max shutter speed is limited 1/2 second. The camera doesn't set shutter speed more than this value in the default mode. I don't need the fixed shutter speed. I need reduce the shutter speed (as in default mode) but more than 1/2 second.
Can you help me?

I've been thinking an nd filter would be best for this!
 
Hey @PavelCm you can manipulate shutter speed by using an autoexec file.
Code:
#1st value: ISO possible values from 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800, 25600 Maximum
#2nd value: shutter_speed values from 1-2047 -> 1==7.9s, 8==7.7f, 50==6.1s. 100==4.6s, 200==2.7s, 400==1sec, 590==1/3sec, 600==1/5sec, 800==1/10sec, 900==1/15sec 1000==1/30sec, 1100==1/50sec, 1145==1/60sec, 1200==1/80sec, 1275==1/125sec, 1300==1/140sec, 1405==1/250sec, 1450==1/320sec, 1531==1/500sec, 1607==1/752sec, 1660==1/1002sec, 1788==1/2004sec, 1800==1/2138, 1900==1/3675, 2000==1/6316, 2047==1/8147 (EXIF value)
#3rd value: automatic gain control
#___IF A VALUE IS SET TO 0 IT MEANS AUTOMATIC!!!___

#This example sets shutter speed to 1/15 sec
t ia2 -ae exp 0 0 900
 
Hey @zwybel
I need iso=100, shutter speed=automatic, automatic gain control = ?? (i don't know what it means)

I have made experiment. I have created a script: t ia2 -ae exp 100 0 0 and have taken several series of pictures.
I get photos with various (automatic) shutter speed when enough lightening: 1/100sec 1/50sec 1/30sec (with iso 100). But I get photos with shutter speed = 1/2sec when light insufficiently (dark). If lighting decreases shutter speed will remain equal = 1/2.

I assume automatic range is limited 1/8147 - 1/2 sec.
I would like to increase it. 1/8147 - 7.9 sec.

ps1. perhaps I want too much from this camera and such settings are possible only in professional cameras.
ps2. excuse for my English (with google translate).

yea you want to much from this camera and it hard to mod something without a script so dont know what your looking for.
