EOS Rebel SL2 Unable to get shutter speed slower than 1/30 for time lapse

[AlexisLem]

Hi,

I want to make a Time Lapse with long exposure on my Canon SL2 and I know that it's work on others Canon DSLR, but I have not been able to get an exposure lower than 1/30 in the Time Lapse mode. So I would want to know if I'm doing something wrong or that's just how the camera is made.
If it's really impossible to get it lower than 1/30 due to a software restriction, I would want to know how to send a request feature to Canon.

Thanks

Blanche29,

I have a T8i and just tested it out. It behaves the same way. 1/30th is the slowest it will go in Time Lapse. I didn't know that till now.

When I finally Googled it the other day it said that's the default. Get an intervalometer.  Lol. It will change..Just not to "seconds" just fractions of seconds.

That's why I said Canon should change their specs. I still like the camera a lot. But I bought it FOR the Time-lapse. Disappointing.

Yep. And it's still a current topic because I already got 2 comments
