Well, I'm not a user of high-tech auto everything cameras, so maybe I'm not the best person to answer, but I'll throw in my two cents anyway. Two thoughts: maybe the camera's meter sensed that the exposure was right on the cusp between 1/30th and 1/15th, so it might have taken a miniscule change in light to make the camera decide between these two speeds. That being said (and I know this is obvious, but I'll say it anyway), the more automation, the less control for the user. Since you didn't have control, you let the machine decide for you, and I guess one has to live with those results, for better or worse... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
