<My understanding is that im Manual mode you cannot select intermediate

<in 1/2 stop progression: 1/1000 - 1/750 - 1/500 - 1/375 - 1/250 etc.
<(and you can read these speeds in the VF.

I rather believe that if M7 has an electronic shutter and the appropiate
chip the camera will shoot with the exact necessary speed, let's say 1/136,
and the VF will show the more approximate value (125). That's exactly that
happens in a electronic modern camera as my Nikon F3 from more than twenty
years ago.

Kind regards

Felix
