Shutter drop down not working

[demastes]

Hi all,

I'm running 3.2 with a T3i and I can't seem to figure out why the shutter drop down menu is not working for me. I didnt have this problem with my other Eos.  Camera is set to M (and not Bulb). What am I doing wrong?  Thanks.  -Jim

Sorry, but please provide more information.

What is the complete version number, including all 3 parts to the number. I am running BYE 3.2.2.

I assume that you are talking about the dropdown in the Shutter column of the Capture Plan Center on the Imaging screen.

What are you seeing with the Shutter dropdown that seems wrong?

Sorry about that, I was out in my observatory and didn't do a good job of explaining. It's been a while since I used BYE but I never had a problem before.  I'm running 3.2.2. The Shutter drop down in question was in Planetary but if I recall, I couldn't set TV in Image capture either. Makes me think I have something wrong on the camera?

You still did not say what is wrong with the Shutter dropdown, but I am going to guess that it does not contain all the expected values.

BYE caches the exposure durations that the camera supports so it doesn't have to scan them every time you connect. In order to force BYE to re-scan the durations that the camera supports you need to delete the exposures from BYE's data cache.

Try this:

1. Start BYE, but don't connect to the camera.
2. Go into Advanced Settings and click Delete Cache Data.
3. Shutdown BYE.
4. Put the camera in Manual mode.
5. Start BYE
6. Connect BYE to the camera.

Look at the Shutter dropdown. It should have a full set of exposures from BULB down to 1/4000th of a second, or whatever your camera's shortest exposure is.

Let us know how it goes.
