ZF aperture priority with minimum shutter speed configuration ?

Hi everyone, so I’ve been using the ZF for a few months now, and I’m absolutely in love with this camera. Here’s how I use it most of the time: Manual mode, with the ISO dial set to the maximum ISO limit, then I manually set the shutter speed and aperture. It works really well, except when I’m in a situation with changing contrast, such as in bright sunlight. In these situations, in the city when I need to adjust my exposure very quickly, the simplest option is aperture priority. But Nikon’s version is a bit odd.

I’ve come from Fujifilm, where you set the minimum shutter speed and maximum ISO, and when you were at the lowest ISO (bright sunlight, for example), the camera would increase the shutter speed; otherwise, it would simply adjust the ISO to match the minimum shutter speed. On the Nikon, when I set this up, it seems as though the camera ‘blends’ the shutter speed and ISO settings. If I set the minimum shutter speed to 1/200 and the maximum ISO to 3200, the camera sets itself, for example, to 1/450 shutter speed and 1100 ISO rather than 1/200 with the lowest possible ISO. Is it possible to configure this differently? So that I get the lowest possible ISO as long as it respects the minimum shutter speed limit?
