Cannot change aperture or shutter speed in Manual mode!
I think I am going insane! For some reason, despite the XH A1 being in Manual mode, I cannot change my aperture or shutter speed!
The shutter toggle isn't locked... It's stuck at 1/30 f1.0..... also, I've checked the switch at the top and it isn't in the lock position.... Help! - now I tried resetting everything back to default - and it's all Japanese text in the menus! Oh dear me... what have I done? (resetting made no difference - still locked in manual mode...cannot change shutter or exposure :( ) |
Hi Clare, how did you reset the camera? Did you do it via the reset button near the speaker grille on the top of the camera, under the LCD display?
|
In the menu on the LCD display.... managed to find the English option in the menu
Is it better to do a reset with the reset button at the top of the camera? The problem with not being able to chance the shutter speed or aperture continues in Manual |
Can you change them in any other mode?
|
Recommend performing a hard re-set via the button (the end of a paperclip will do nicely for pressing it).
Also try calling the Canon help line for more advice -- ask about the reset button. 1-800-OK-CANON. |
Thanks Chris, I did call them and they told me how to do that... but said I will need to send it in as it made no difference.
Just purchased this item off eBay so I am most upset about it.... the seller is being very good however and I am sure it will be sorted. |
