R5 shutter speed in manual mode slowest 1/2 second

[Tim87]

Hi. I just purchased a new Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera after using the 5D Mark IV the last few years. The slowest shutter speed for stills is 1/2 second in manual mode. 
I have not tried other modes as I always use manual. 
Is there a reason why or a setting that needs to be changed? # R5

You have the camera set to Electronic shutter mode. In this mode the shutter speed range is from 1/2 to 1/18000 

Go to the red Shoot menus and find Shutter mode (possibly SHOOT6 menu) and change it to 1st curtain electronic or mechanical shutter modes then you can use the full range of shutter speeds.

That did it, thank you!!

Do you have a minimum shutter speed set? See page 155 in the User Manual.

That only applies in Auto Modes, not M.

Sorry but the shutter speed limits set in the custom functions that Ricky described are hard limits and apply to P/Fv/Tv/Av/M modes.

AAAH! The "effective for" fooled me!
