drdannn Posted May 5, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 5, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I stumbled on to this by accident. Maybe it's in the users manual, but I didn't look. Often I shoot with the lens of the Digilux 2 wide open, and sometimes the 'red light' comes on in the EVF, meaning that I'm over exposed, which would exceed the maximum shutter speed of 1/2000th. I then put the camera in the full auto mode, i.e. auto aperture, auto shutter, and composed the same shot into very bright light. Surprisingly the shutter speed will incrementally increase from 1/2000th all the way to 1/4000th. FYI if you didn't already know Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the camera is in full auto-mode how do you ensure that the camera will increase the shutter speed rather than decrease the aperture? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdannn Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted May 8, 2010 Interesting finding! But if the camera is in full auto-mode how do you ensure that the camera will increase the shutter speed rather than decrease the aperture? Hi, Didn't play with it from that perspective. I was trying to get a back-lit shot and ran out of shutter speed. So just tried the full auto settings into the same light and the shutter would fluctuate between 1/2600 and 1/4000 depending on where I pointed the camera, and gave me great exposures. Did you try it out too? Dan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
