As Dick subsequently pointed out, there is no way to change the X-Pro 1 default minimum speed of 1/30 sec. (when shooting in aperture priority, as I usually do). So, last night we went to a friend's birthday party, and I set the camera at f2.8 and 1/250, later lowering to 1/60 as the lights were turned down. The two images are rather indifferent content-wise, but they do illustrate the wisdom of the technique and the high-ISO capabilities of the Fuji: ISO 5000 at 1/250: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/belgiangator/misc/20130608-_DSF2965.jpg.html ISO 6400 at 1/60: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/belgiangator/misc/20130609-_DSF2984.jpg.html Pretty damn good, I'd say.
