Canon 5D Mk II, cannot adjust shutter speed below 1/30th

I have a Canon EOS 5D Mk 2 - connected to qDSLR dashboard with a router and controlled with a Samsug Galaxy S5 mini.

It all connects ok, but in LR timelapse mode I cannot get a shutter speed slower than 1/30th. The next setting is Bulb. I am trying to shoot a sunrise and I need a setting slower than 1/30 to expose properly. I've set it going to see what happens, but I wondered if there was a setting or something that I have overlooked? I know you can set the fastest and slowest shutter speeds, but I don't seem to be able to selected slower than 1/30th.

Many thanks.

Must be your camera settings. Maybe the camera is set to movie mode?

Fixed - yes it was - in live view it won't go below 1/30th, without live view selected it works properly. The camera nmust assume that M mode and live view is for video. Thanks.
