Hi!
I知 trying to take some night photography of neon lights in manual mode with a tri-pod (f-8 and a 30 second exposure). And the exposure time is not working, once the 2 second timer is done, then the camera just takes the picture.
Well, when the 2 sec timer is done the camera should take the picture Hi!

If you are saying it does not give you a 30 second exposure I think it is because you have set the camera for 1/30 sec not 30 sec.
At least on my K1 the top display shows 30 for 1/30 second......and 30" for 30 seconds
