EOS R Accessing Shutter Speeds Slower than 1/125

[tekgirl02]

Hi everyone...I recently bought a Canon EOS R to use for astrophotography...I have an R6 I use as well... For some reason the EOS R shutter speed starts at 1/125 sec and goes to 1/8000 sec...M mode. That's it - no other options. If I want 5 sec, 1 sec, etc., I have to put it in bulb mode. I've spent hours searching fort the solution, but can't find it. Help please!!!

Are you using the mechanical shutter? i.e., silent shooting is off?

Yes! I figured it out just now...I went to shutter speed range, which I had no idea existed, and had to set the lowest speed at 30 sec... That fixed the issue. Thank you for your reply - itt made me go re-look at my settings...
