Sony A5000 questions

togwood — Sun, 01 Mar 2015 10:16:38 GMT

Does the Sony A5000 camera have the type of dust reduction system that shakes the sensor to remove dust? I can not find any mention of it in the user manual but this page says that it does, http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/content/cnt-tut/shared/how-to-clean-nex/ILCE-5000

Can a minimum shutter speed be set in aperture priority mode when using auto iso to prevent too slow of a shutter speed being selected by the camera?

Yes it has a dust removal system.

Not a single Sony camera (to date) has an ISO auto system with minimum shutter speed selection. But all Sony cameras adjust the shutter speed automatically by 1/FL rule (with a certain safety margin and keeping the crop factor in mind).

Thank you very much Portmixus for your detailed answer. Sony's implementation of auto ISO sounds ideal.
