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?

Here's my X100V on MS only - aperture priority mode, at f/2.

You see I get a warning that I need to use the ND, the max shutter speed 1/2000 is shown in RED.

OK, I was shooting in M mode. So would it be the same problem? In manual my camera shows 1/4000 as shown above.

You can't beat physics - the shutter just physically can't move that fast at wide apertures because of the leaf design.

You see that Hasselblad lenses (with built-in leaf shutters) have historically always been slow lenses - they just couldn't use wide open apertures, even if they had them, shooting in normal daylight. Not without adding an ND filter of course.

So the camera is saving you from an overexposed image in your case by using a hybrid shutter mode in the background.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it arguing about camera features - go out and capture memories - Oh, and size does matter - shoot MF
