... For some reason the camera tries to stick to f/7.1 in P-mode as much as it can. The lens however is already at its best at f/4.5, which gives you a faster shutter speed. See also this thread: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/9110032

Adding to this, if apertures smaller than f/5.6 on current 1"-type sensors like the RX100 or RX10 is considered already the start of the diffraction-territory and related losses in sharpness, on the A2/A200 with their even smaller sensors one should certainly stay clear from the small aperture range for general photography. Only for extreme close-up / macro when more DOF is desired it may be worth to go smaller.
