IIRC only MZ-S does this and my MZ-5n did not. This takes into account as much available light as possible - IMO a Good Thing because it results in flash pictures with available light feeling. If you do not like it, select your favourite aperture/shutter speed manually.. All the best! Raimo Personal photography homepage at http://www.uusikaupunki.fi/~raikorho
