M11 Aperture Priority and Hybrid Shutter Question

Hello, all. 

I've downloaded the manual and read several reviews, but can't find anything that specifically states whether or not the M11 will use the full range of shutter speeds up to 1/16000 in Aperture priority mode when the shutter is set to Hybrid mode. Several reviews and the manual specify accessing the slow exposures up to 60 minutes and the faster speeds above 1/4000 by turning the dial to Bulb mode and selecting the desired speed, but they don't explicitly define the camera's behavior in Aperture priority mode with hybrid shutter. Thanks for any info.

after 1/4000 it will switch automatically to electronic shutter if needed.

Long exposure are ISO setting dependent 60min at ISO64....  ISO200 30min....

8s on the dial.  

if dial is on B, you can use the menu screen to set B, T or 60s and so on

When using Hybrid mode in Aperture Priority, the camera uses mechanical shutter up to 1/4000. Electronic shutter automatically kicks in when exceeding 1/4000 up to 1/16000.

Thanks, folks. That's what makes the most sense, of course. I just found it peculiar that it wasn't explicitly described anywhere and that most of what I read kept referring to the required bulb setting to get to the the speeds not on the dial. I appreciate the responses.
