Yeah, at the time of release, it probably decided on 4 seconds for example.
When you moved, it coincided with the time-out.
Here's how I know:
I moved the aperture lever to "Flash" which does 3 things:
1. Pops up the flash's "ready" light and begins charging.
2. Sets the lens to f4. (Notice that the aperture lever is above f/2.8, in
the Flash setting, yet the diapharam is at f4.
3. Fixes the shutter speed.
When I moved the aperture lever to f8, the auto-exposure in the XA came back to
life, deciding on a 2 second exposure based on f8 in
my kitchen with ISO 400. Even though the flash gave an auto-exposure, the
shutter still took about 2 seconds to time out.
