R6 mark II - setting minimum shutter speed

Aspara — Sat, 26 Aug 2023 12:13:18 GMT

I recently got the R6 mark II.

In the 'ISO speed settings' I get an option to set a max. shutter speed, and not a min. shutter speed (as is the case with my 5D mark III).

Is there no longer a way to set a minimum shutter speed? Is there a way around it?

I use this option in low light when I want the camera to stay within certain ISO ranges without going under a set shutter speed.

Have you explained that the right way around. It gives the chance to set the minimum shutter speed but not the maximum. Well it does on mine. Surely if you wanted to restrict the max shutter setting, you'd do it in tab 2 of the orange menu.

Is this what you are looking for? From the manual:

The OP is saying he only has a setting for Maximum. Your screen shot shows it as it is. Only minimum.

This is my screen. It's in Dutch, as that's my mother tongue.

The manual in Dutch does mention the max. shutter speed... I found a Youtube video that showed the option of a min. shutter speed. I'm really confused...

I've just set mine to Dutch, it looks like a translation glitch. It still works as it should and sets the minimum rather than max.

Thanks for checking that! It didn't cross my mind that it would be that, but I'm glad it is 🤣

It's the same for German too. 😂
