I use this feature a lot, just as described. I use Aperture Priority frequently and shoot a lot of my photos while traveling. Scenes are changing, the lighting is changing, and I'm often trying to capture a fleeting moment, reactively. I also may be using a zoom or changing lenses, so the exact minimum shutter speed I want dialed in to freeze camera shake varies. If I'm setting up a shot proactively, I have time to change all the settings as I like, but unless I'm trying to establish a certain amount of blur or freeze fast action, what I *usually* mainly care about is setting the aperture where I like, then having the shutter be fast enough to freeze any hand shaking (or perhaps some pedestrian motion) and once having accomplished that I want the ISO to float as high as it needs to (up to the cap I set) in order to accomplish these things while otherwise staying as low as possible. When the camera runs out of ISO headroom, it doesn't start giving me noisy photos it starts lengthening shutter speed, but it doesn't ever interfere with my chosen aperture. Whenever I need to I manually intervene. This features basically automates the settings I often don't care about micromanaging while keeping them within certain boundaries to the degree I do care about and usually prioritizing the order in which exposure compromises are made in the same way I would. I find that when light is growing marginal at the end of a travel day I often end up intervening more as more critical choices need to be made. I can totally see how someone else might never use this feature, but I love it.

I haven't watched his rather long video, but the main point is to automatically adjust to shutter speed to different focal lengths when in aperture priority, where typically you want to minimize camera shake and are not worried about subject motion. You simply select which slow-fast setting corresponds to what you know you can handhold at a given focal length and it translates it to all focal lengths. You change slow-fast depending on how steady your stance is: e.g. you're leaning against something vs holding the EVF up to your face vs hand-holding with the screen flipped out.
Setting it manually can be a lot when constantly adjusting zoom. And of course if you're trying to minimize subject motion blur, then use shutter priority or set the minimum shutter speed....Show more →
