If the value selected for
DEFAULT SENSITIVITY
is higher than that
selected for
MAX. SENSITIVITY
,
DEFAULT SENSITIVITY
will be set to
the value selected for
MAX. SENSITIVITY

•
The camera may select shutter speeds slower than
MIN. SHUTTER
SPEED
if pictures would still be underexposed at the value selected
for
MAX. SENSITIVITY
.
•
If
AUTO
is selected for
MIN. SHUTTER SPEED
, the camera will au-
tomatically choose a minimum shutter speed approximately equal
to the inverse of the lens’ focal length, in seconds (for example, if the
lens has a focal length of 50 mm, the camera will choose a minimum
shutter speed in the neighborhood of 1⁄50 s). The minimum shutter
speed is not aff ected by the option selected for image stabilization.
