GH4 Help with GH4 shutter speeds

[SWIF Studios]

When shooting time-lapse or any mode other mode, I can't seem to get an exposure longer than 1sec on my GH4. I have the camera setup in manual mode, can't figure this one out? Can the GH4 actually do from 1 to 30sec exposures?

Thanks

Make sure you don't have electronic shutter turned on. It needs mechanical shutter to do long exposure work.

This is probably what you're experiencing. I do find it interesting that this is the case. I'm sure there's a technical reason, but does anyone know why this is?

1 second is the limit for e-shutter.
