Shutter Speed Question?

Question

ive a Fuji 9500 camera. i want to take a 4 second exposure on it. So which one of the following indicates that the deting is on 4 second exposure. Is it: 4 or 4000. ie does '4' mean 1/4 of a sec im confussed. thanks

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with that particular camera but if it's like every other camera I've used, "4" mean 1/4 of a second and "4000" mean 1/4000.

As you slow down the shutter speed, you should see 30, 15, 8, 4, 2, 1 and maybe "B" (for bulb). If the numbers start to go back up AFTER "1," THOSE are seconds.

Depending on what you're trying to do, you may want to try the bulb setting. To do this, you'll need a locking cable release. Screw it into the shutter release and when you depress the button, you can lock the shutter open or simply hold down the cable release button and release after a specified amount of time.

Answer 2

The speed for that model are 1/4 sec. to 1/4,000 sec. 4 means 1/4 and 4000 means 1/4000; for space reasons they need to make it short.

This camera doesn't do long exposures because it doesn't seems to have a "B" (Bulb) setting which means the exposure is maintain until you let go the shutter. 1/4 of a second is the longer this model goes, remember this a semi pro camera, for longer exposures you need a professional model, digital or analog.

Answer 3

for a four second exposure you need to be at 4 or 1/4. If you are on manual camera mode you will have to set your f stops to get absolutely the best exposure. for example at a 4 seconds exposure you may want your f stops at or higher than 22 depending where and what the subject is.

Answer 4

for that long of an exposure, you will probably have to set the camera on B (for bulb) and count for 4 seconds or use a stop watch.
