I even get the half stop readouts (two shutter speeds blinking) in manual mode. There are three possible explanations for what you observed - 1) you were below the 1/4 sec threshold in the display, in which case it stays on 4 (blinking); 2) the Konica lens is clicked in half stops and you were changing a half stop; 3) the demo was damaged or defective.
