DEFAULT SENSITIVITY
MAX. SENSITIVITY
MIN. SHUTTER SPEED
The camera automatically chooses a sensitivity between the de-
fault and maximum values; sensitivity is only raised above the
default value if the shutter speed required for optimal exposure
would be slower than the value selected for MIN. SHUTTER SPEED.

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.
