Problem doing long exposures
Lately I've been having problems doing long exposures. By long, i mean more that 4 seconds. Whether i check the LX Mode box or not, anything over 4 seconds and the ticker for the exposure time (bottom right) just keeps going and the preview never pops up. i didn't have this problem when i first installed the program....it just started happening about 2 weeks ago. i bought Sharpcap pro thinking an upgrade would help the problem...but it didn't. wondering if anyone has experienced this issue and/or has any idea how to fix it?

Hi,
Aside from the general suggestion of reading the USB troubleshooting checklist and trying the suggestions there (the sort of things can sometimes help for the sort of problems you describe), we can't give any further specific advice without knowing make and model of camera you are using.
Cheers, Robin
