[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 360660, member: 12496"] Those were my concerns, but you said no flash involved. Minimum Shutter Speed with Flash (default 1/60 second) certainly does apply to camera mode A or P (and surely Auto and Scenes too). The models like D300 and D7100 and up have a menu E2 for this. The default 1/60 second Minimum can be slowed, but not increased. You can see this kick in, like indoors (less bright than sunshine), and take an exposure reading in A or P mode (in dimmer light, it will be slower, like 1/4 to 1/10 second maybe). Pop open the internal flash, and then the shutter speed jumps to 1/60 second (the default Minimum with flash). Exceptions are that if Slow Sync or Rear Curtain Sync, the Minimum is ignored, and the shutter speed necessarily stays slow, because that is the point of those sync modes. Video takes 30 frames a second, therefore shutter speeds longer then 1/30 second are impossible. In dimmer light, it will be 1/30. If in better light, 1/60 is considered to be better. I have no clue about your Auto ISO issue. Your opinion sounds very correct, I can't imagine why it is not happening. [/QUOTE]
