QuickTake 100: Shutter Speed vs. Lens Aperture (5/94)

How does the QuickTake 100 decide on shutter speed and lens aperature
when taking pictures? All good 35 mm cameras let the user select whether the
shutter speed or lens aperture is the higher priority. Is this true of the QuickTake 100 camera?

The QuickTake 100 camera is not nearly as sophisticated as a 35mm camera when determining aperture opening and shutter speed. Based on an internal program QuickTake samples the ambient light level and makes a determination of its shutter speed and aperture opening. The program places more emphasis on the shutter speed rather than the aperture opening.
