X-E3 - cannot set shutter speed on T or B

Was hoping for some astrophotography a couple of night ago. But I was unable to change to an 8 second shutter.

When I rotate the top dial to T, SS is set on "100". On B, it's fixed at 30 seconds. Spinning the rear wheel has no effect.

The rear wheel works - pushing it sets up some weird system with boxes and spinning it changes the box size (I haven't figured out what this is about!). And the rear wheel works for other things, too.

I'm on mechanical shutter. Same issue whether I had the lens aperture set to A or not.

Is there another setting I need to change?
