Who knows EXR camera shutter speed limitations?

I was shooting with my XF1 the other day in A mode and found that my shutter speed would not go any slower than 1/4 second.   For the life of me I could not change ANY mode to get a longer shutter speed.  What setting do I have on that limits shutter speed to a maximum of 1/4 second?  I thought I could select any shutter speed up to 30 seconds.

Thanks,
