Is it normal to get shutter speed of 1sec

[X360]

Hi all, I suspect that something is wrong with my GS.

When the yellow light is on in a dim room the shutter speed seems like it's around 1 sec at F16.
It gradually increases from there as turn down the f-stop.

Is this correct? I thought the slowest speed in auto should be around 1/30?

thanks for the info greyhound man.
so 1/30 is just when the yellow light goes off right?

maybe mine's working correctly then.

Look at the section of the manual called Exposure Control

"The appearance of the YELLOW arrow signifies too little light for hand-held photography, since the
exposure speed will be slower than 1/30 second"

So I'm thinking that as soon as the yellow light goes OFF it means the shutter speed is at 1/30
