Nikon D800 Live View Shutter Speed cannot go slower than 1/30

[Michiyo-Fir]

Wondering if you guys can help me out.

On my D800, in live view mode, the slowest shutter speed it is letting me set is equivalent to the FPS of the movie setting.

So for example 1080p 30 FPS, the shutter speed I can only set to a slowest of 1/30 seconds in live view.

In 720p 60 FPS, the slowest shutter speed I can use in live view is 1/60.

However, for when I'm not doing videos, how can I make it so that I'm able to use a slower shutter speed in live view mode???


I read another thread on a D7000 with the same problem and it said to turn manual movie setttings to off, however, in the same place, I don't even have manual movie settings.

Bump.


Does anyone know where/who I can contact in Nikon? Technical support?

Have you tried setting your shutter speed before turniong live view on? Maybe hitting the AE-L button before going into live view might help too?

you do have your live view switch on photo mode and not on movie mode correct?
