1/800 is a relatively slow shutterspeed for a shot in bright sun @ f/1.4 Without any filters you could easily need 1/16000 or even shorter.

* 1/350 is suitable for freezing people in mid-run without motion blur.
* 1/500 is ideal for freezing sport action like surfers.
* 1/1000 is suitable for freezing an exploding lance from a charging knight on a horse.
* What kind of fool would shoot a perfectly still plant at 1/16000 second?

I shot the image above in Av-Mode so the camera determined the shutter speed based on the Circular Polarizer on the lens and the amount of light that was available with the ISO set to 100.  Still, it's a shame the M6 only has a maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 sec.  If only there was a camera that offered 1/16,000 sec that costs under a quarter of a million dollars that wasn't made by Sony.

I'm not replying to the poster above.  I'm replying to cement the comment so that others might understand why I no longer communicate directly with this member of the forum.  The comment above was trollworthy, even if an accidental 'Typo' was included.
