Shutter priority
Feb 28, 2014 09:57:24 #
Anyone experienced the following. I set my Canon (SX50) to Shutter Priority to capture some blowing snow to look more like a blanket. I set the shutter speed to 1/10. Took several pictures and they looked okay through the camera viewer. When I got them into my computer and I looked at the information tab on the RAW shot, the shutter speed was 1/500. Took another set of pictures using Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, Manual and auto. AP, Manual and Auto all worked okay, but the Shutter Priority would not hold any speed setting I put in...they all we shot from 1/500 - 1/1000. The "amusing" point here is that ALL of the pictures look great, only I can't control the speed in Shutter Priority that I have set.
Never have had this with my main 50D Canon.

There is something about an over-ride on slower shutter speeds; I forget offhand, but I know it has come up before. I'll try to find the info :)
Another thought: if the shutter went at 1/500 and the shot was "great," then if it had used the 1/10 you set it, you would have been seriously over-exposed!
And maybe there is something going on with variable ISO, too. We'll get to the bottom of this.

Is this a new camera or did this problem just crop up on one you've had for a while? If it's new, unless there is some type of override going on in the settings I would say you have a defective camera. If it just cropped up on a camera you've had a while and used in Shutter priority before then I would say you still probably have a defective camera.

Pretty sure not defective. The question has come up before, just have to find the source info.

What was the ISO set at and was it locked or on auto? I always shoot A priority and never locked.

There is a "Safety Shift" Item in the menu. To my knowledge you have to turn this off...otherwise the camera does its darndest to get you to the right settings...
page 151of the manual

The feature I was thinking of was locked ISO (page 150).
I have "safety shift" set to OFF. Camera allowed me to take a very over-exposed image. using Tv at 1/10 sec, ISO 80. However, the aperture value of f/8.0 (the smallest this camera will go) blinked at me in orange :)

THANK YOU ALL for the advice and directions. My camera is 8 months old. used the shutter priority many times before and no problems. Those of you that suggested the Safety shift were bang on. Actually never heard of this before. Went to the instruction manual and looked it up. Mine was set to ON. I turned it off and shot three shots - first and last with no flash and second with a flash, all all recorded shots were done at the set Shutter I had selected. ISO at 80 and the camera selected the aperture.
This "bridge camera" had been very reliable for me when the time it's needed. Thanks to everyone at the forum.

Yes....and all that white snow and complete white-out may have caused the setting to trigger as well.

I tried it. Now, if you see my camera floating around, shoot it down and send it back, please.
