Auto only sorry, it's the way they implemented auto exposure, simply removed the
slow speed timer and replaced it with the electronic timer. Same reason the LX
has mechanical high speeds but only electronic slow speeds. By the time the LX
was released they had figured out how to give control over the low speeds and
keep the meter active, (bet the solutions were related to each other).

Chris,

I was just looking at some of those pics, and noticed that the shutter
dial goes from 1/60 to B with nothing in between. Is there no way to
set slower shutter speeds on the ESII?
