Maybe it's common knowledge, but I didn't read it anywhere, on the contrary: all "official" lists of features miss it, so I thought it can be useful to mention it here:

This camera indicates dual speeds: "fast": 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500 and on a corresponding scale "slow": 1/2, 1/4, 1/8

Now, if you set it in the slow range at the scale-point for 1/500, it uses 1/15th, without that fact being indicated on the scale or anywhere that I've read about this camera on the web. Not even the manual states this: http://www.dvdtechcameras.com/manuals/cameras/horizon/1.htm

I did a quick test this morning, and it works fine at 1/15th (never mind the "contents" of the picture, and shot without tripod) :
