the shutter speed locks at its current level. This helps prevent
camera shake problems (shutter speeds that are too slow can
cause blur). However, if the zoom magnification is increased, the
camera will increase the locked shutter speed accordingly.

especially with wide-angle shooting. Check the resulting picture on
the monitor.
