Good to know

Without a battery, 1/50 s and B are available mechanically via the controls provided for them. [2]

Until the frame counter reaches 1, the shutter fires at 1/60 s whatever speed is set; the one exception is B. [1]

In aperture priority the shutter runs up to 16 seconds, while the electronic speeds you can set manually go up to 4 seconds. [1]
