Planetary Imaging Shutter Speed setting not working


gfunkernator

Question

I use a Canon EOS Ra and while in planetary imaging mode the planets are over-exposed.  Changing the shutter speed and/or ISO speed have no affect.  If I change the shutter speed to 1/20 while already at 5x zoom, the zoom resets back to full or native frame, still over-exposed.  Recording an avi+jpg combo at a set shutter speed of 1/20 the planet is still over exposed.  I even tried to disable max sensitivity in settings to no avail.  Please advise.

Canon have what is called exposure simulation. It only works with TV mode, not BULB. I'm not sure if the mirrorless Canon have the ability to turn this option on/off but it's worth going through the camera menu to see if you see an "exposure simulation" option.

I didn't try manually going into Tv mode on the camera.  Max sensitivity was disabled.  I usually go from frame and focus (from all night DSO imaging) to planetary just before the sun comes up.  I'll try setting Tv mode and see if it helps.  I did see the expsim appear in EOS Utility but never gave it thought.
