That it very interesting, Wolfgang.

I have an Olympus C-2100 ultra zoom and recently shot some low light indoor
stuff that wound up with a lot of blur due to the slow shutter speed -
though that did not effect the duration between pressing the button and the
beginning movement of the shutter. But yes, it seems to me camera prefers to
slow the shutter over increasing the ISO to max. But that may be
intentional, to prevent a grainy picture - though the C-2100's 400 iso shots
are remarkably good.

The best idea in those low light conditions - if you don't want to or can't
use a flash - might be to manually set the ISO, I guess and use shutter
priority mode.
