I would suggest that it works the same way; that the aperture and speed will be set automatically in AE mode. But if you have the shutter set below 1/100 it will not be changed - apparently. The P30 film speed is ISO 100 without a film in the camera. But why not just put one in? Or an empty cassette? I usually keep a few of those around -- useful for checking the meters of my P30s (I have three of them now) against a hand held meter.
