if you are truly on MS and not one of the MS + ES modes, then shooting wide open at 1/2000 would be beyond you camera's shutter speed ability due to the limitations of the leaf shutter design.
So, why does X100V manual say MS goes to 1/4000?
The leaf shutter cannot cover that large an aperture in that time, leading to the image being overexposed.
I do not understand this as I can take a photograph using MS at 1/4000 F/2.0 ISO 160:

Per the manual:

The shutter can do 1/4000 with smaller apertures, but as the aperture size increases, the circular leaf filter cannot physically move fast enough to cover the wide aperture in the time allotted.
This is physically different to the a FPS, where it's aperture independent.
For shutter speeds over 1/2000 Fujifilm use ES to deliver the apparent shutter speed - or you need to use the ND filter to keep shutter speeds low enough to stay 100% MS.
The X100V manual states:
When MECHANICAL SHUTTER is selected, exposure may be less accurate at wider apertures (the maximum shutter speed varies with the aperture, from 1/2000s at f/2 to 1/4000 s at f/4.5). The timing of the switch from MECHANICAL SHUTTER to ELECTRONIC SHUTTER when MECHANICAL + ELECTRONIC is selected also varies with aperture.
So when the camera is set to MS and I shoot at 1/4000 F/2 the screen is not showing accurate information? This is what confuses me. It is switching to ES even when set to MS only? The way I read the manual is that if set to MS ONLY the screen is not accurate. It is still shooting MS only and maxing out at 1/2000 but showing 1/4000 on the screen.

Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it's been.
