Help HX90V

[rolitsas]

Hello all and may you have a good day.

  I recently purchased a DSC HX90V which I have used with both Intelligent Autos as well as other preset features and I must say I am quite happy with the camera. Trying to take it to modes M, S, A though I find it a bit difficult for setting the values I desire though the manual says that this is something I can change in those three modes. To be specific, I am trying to set shutter speed to 20"-30" seconds with f/8 (I can't get higher than that), and ISO 100 or 80

  In all three above modes M, S, A, I can set the desired values of Shutter and aperture ONLY when ISO is set to AUTO but as I said above I need the ISO in a slow value and not in AUTO.

  Anyone can help me out with this?

Thanks in advance.

OK

Press on menu -> goto the menu tab with the camera, choose page 3 and set ISO to the desired value.

Now you can go to A, S or M and adjust Aperture, Shutter or both in Manual mode.

Aperture with the lens ring, Shutter speed with the Control wheel on the back.

BTW

Did you discover PlayMemoriesCameraApps?

If I remember well it offers you a GPS update for your camera as well as a few camera apps.

I like the Smart Remote Control very much.

Put your device on a tripod, seat yourself behind your smartphone screen, take your time to set all settings you like and shoot.

I added a cheap motorized Pan-Tilt device and now I'm taking bird shots like a 'pro'.

One other thing to mention.

Now that Google will end it's free unlimited 'high quality' photo backup , Nikon offers storage to 20G and Canon offers just 10G, Sony is the only one providing unlimited free cloud storage through PlayMemoriesHome.

Strampke, thank you very much. I cannot try the solution now, but I am sure you are correct. And I thank you for the info about the App.
