Hello community,

I am using a Sony alpha 7c mark II for my work as an assessor and I am very happy with it.

One thing is on my mind though: When in A-Mode, the camera quite often chooses to lower the shutter speed above 1/80 to get enough light. I would prefer if the camera would stay below 1/80 and turn up the ISO instead, so that the picture doesn't get all shaky when handheld.

Does anyone know, if there is an option to set a lower limit to the shutter speed, when in A-Mode? And where can I find it?

Edit: Solution:

In my menu (german): Belichtung/Farbe - [1]Belichtung - ISO AUTO Min. VS

Maybe in english: Exposure/Color - [1]Exposure - ISO AUTO Min. ET

Look for minimum shutter speed on that same page. Your camera will respect that value until you hit the max ISO value.

Thank you, I found it!

With the setting ISOASS-250 it now won't go below 1/250 exposure time, as long as it can turn up the ISO higher. When it reaches the maximum ISO (I set it to 6400), only then it will adjust the exposure time.

ISOASS wasn't exactly the keyword I was loocking for.

Thanks for your help!
