ensure blur-free shutter speeds, or select the slowest shutter
speed you want to specify (1/2s - 1/500s, in whole steps). In
the focal length-specific settings, the camera only switches to
a higher sensitivity if the shutter speed would fall below the
threshold due to lower brightness, e.g. with a 50mm lens at
slower speeds than 1/60s at 1/focal length, or 1/125s at 1/

The sensitivity automatically determined by the camera for the
uncorrected picture is also used for all other pictures in a series,
i.e. this ISO value is not changed during a series. This may mean
that the slowest shutter speed specified under
Set maximum
exposure time
is exceeded.
