Longest exposure R5

How I can use 30 seconds exposure on R5 without remote? I check preferences. 30 seconds exposure is available, but when I try to take longest exposure - I can take only 0''5. What do I do wrong?

Change to mechanical shutter. Electronic first curtain might also work but full electronic is limited in shutter time

That's good to know, thanks.

There was a bug that allowed you to use e-shutter in bulb for as long as you wanted, but the last time I checked that got patched away.

'might work'?

Electronic first curtain is the default shutter mode in the R5 and there's only one use case for mechanical shutter: shooting wide aperture and high shutter speed.

Long exposure probably means landscape photography and there is literally zero reasons to shoot landscapes in mechanical shutter mode or electronic shutter.

Apart from this 0.5s limit, ES also reduces the dynamic range, it enforces 12-bit raws.

Yes, it's only the more advanced sensor in the top-of-the-line R-series camera that keeps the number of bits with electronic shutter.
