As for Pano I just use Photoshop it does great at Pano stitching. -Chris

There might be a custom function that limits it but I'm not aware of any. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

With an external shutter camera release; you can use Bulb to go to ~any shutter speed. If you're doing a skyline though; put it in M/AV or TN. My general opinion is that things aren't going to run away so take your time with M. [6D]

I guess you could use B and just keep your finger on the shutter button. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

yogestee "my posts can be a little colourful"  More info | Nov 20, 2012 19:32 | #8 AAphotog wrote in post #15268781 Trying to take a photo of the NY skyline I'm using a 5d3 and for some reason it's only allowing me to go as slow as 1/30th shutter speed. How do I get the 1/3/5/30 seconds that everyone else is getting? I'm shooting in manual Also, what's a good pano software to use. This is quite a wide skyline  Are you confusing 1/30th with 30 seconds on the shutter speed dial? Jurgen
