hello everyone
I joined your forum because I have a Sony A7 IV but I can't do long exposures. I'm stuck at 50.0 and I can't go any lower. How can I shoot at 10, 20 or 30 seconds?
Thank you for your help

thank you Snofru, but we give me the solution. It was in the settings, the variable shutter has to be OFF and now it's ok I can shoot in 30" or in blurb.

harakis,

Welcome to the FORUM.  These cameras can get a bit tricky to figure out sometimes.  It's best to read the owner's manual a few times.  I understand that some newer SONY cameras do not come with a manual.  You can usually find one on the SONY website.

For exposures longer than 30 seconds, it's best to get a cable or remote shutter release.

You need to be in the right modus, in "S" you can go up 30 seconds, in "M" (manual) 30 seconds are possible and also bulb (endless).

I cant go slower than 1/3 or faster than 1/80. Ive tried looking it up online, but nothing is working.

Looks like you need to turn variable shutter off...
