0.0167-0.125 s (1/60 to 1/8) invites camera shake handheld; brace against a surface or use stabilization to stay sharp.
The new shutter speed preserves exposure when you change aperture; bands follow the photographic handholding guideline that shutter slower than about 1/60 s (0.0167 s) risks shake.
