the shutter speed is auto based on what the flash thinks it needs to get it properly exposed.
i think with the built in flash it would have defaulted to 1/60th.
i'll have to try going fully manual and see if i can get more ambient light.
To allow a greater shutter and as an alternative to M mode, I will sometimes try S mode and set a shutter of something depending on the ambient lighting.

oh yeah i totally know how to use the Manual mode. used to use M on my FZ7 all the time for custom aperture and shutter speed trying too shoot a water drop.
but i have to admit i have not read the manual fully yet so i know how to change the shutter speed when in M but not how to change the Aperture.
might have the pull the book out when i'm on the long plane ride and read up.

Beautiful tabletop! The pen is a bit out of place, but actually it's probably to write that Christmas card isn't it? This shot would make a nice card in of itself! What kind of lighting did you use?

Yep! That was my thinking on the pen, and yes I'm going to use it for some Christmas Cards.
Lighting was ambient with Sun reflecting off opposite wall.
Distance was 30" so I went to f7.1 to increase the DOF. Tripod of course for 1/15th shutter.
I underexposed slightly to enhance the colours but I had to boost the Candle Lamp in PS. Otherwise no PP apart from cropping and white point.
I thought about Yellowing it a bit but decided not.
