Nope. I was using aperture priority and the F5 sets shutter speeds steplessly in this mode. When I set the aperture to f/2.8 (to maximize depth of field) in bright sunlight, it selected 1/2520 as the shutter speed, as I recall (it could have been 1/2250). I remember being intrigued by the fact that it selected such a precise shutter speed, instead of rounding it off. I also found it amusing that it could even go that high--with a Leica, I would have been out of luck. The resulting images looked great to me when I scanned them. And much better than the 24-120--and the 24-120 is no slouch. -- Anthony
