I use remote cameras to take day and night shots out in the field. For night shots I want the camera to select 30s shutter speeds. For some reason my Canon and Nikon bodies have trouble with this, in AV mode they select anywhere from 1-15s shutter speeds, even in total darkness.
I just installed ML on my 7D (latest night build) and hoped the autoexposure module could help me get the camera to select 30s shutter speeds at night. However I'm still getting 15-20s exposures. I have my autoexposure parameters as follows:
lens aperture: f/5.6
tv minimum: 32"
same TC curve: on
av range: f8-f8
iso range: 1600-1600
EC: 0
Any idea why I'm not getting the full 32" exposure when I'm taking pictures in a pitch dark room in my basement? I have the camera menu lights off, so don't think I'm getting stray light, got the viewfinder covered..
thanks a lot for any help
