Re: How to set a low shutter speed limit on GX7 using auto ISO?

I gave it a try and immediately the issue of having to adjust the settings constantly came up - I may want the lowest shutter speed to be 1/320" until the camera runs out of ISO flexibility but I would like it to choose a higher speed when needed. When I'm at shutter priority, I have to constantly balance the speed in order to help the camera use the wide open aperture. This is not practical.

Now I see what the camera is doing - it's trying to match the shutter speed to the 35mm equivalent focal length. With the 35-100 it holds 1/200" when I zoom to 100mm and it keeps 1/80" when zoomed out t 35mm. So Panasonic only needs to add an override option or just a setting where I set a minimal shutter speed regardless of the focal length.
