Shutter Type: Auto

Hey guys, quick question regarding elec vs mech shutter. I know this has probably been asked before but I can't pinpoint a thread response with an answer specific to my question. The G7 manual did not seem to touch on auto shutter either.

Went out for a photo walk tonight and I was trying to get some long exposure shots going. For some reason my G7 wouldn't go past 1" - this had me stumped. After about 15 minutes of thinking really hard I remembered changing the shutter to electronic only a month or two back when I purchased my camera.

My question: If set to "auto" instead of electronic or mechanical, does the camera decide which shutter to use based on the calculated shutter speed? (i.e.. 1" or greater and the camera will choose mechanical)

Thanks a bunch!
