It's an Olympus PEN E-PL1
The lens used was an ED 14-42mm 1:3.5 -5.6 L (no idea what that means)
It does have shutter priorities but that particular shot was taken using the 'Pop Art' mode. ( I know, I know, I just liked the bright colours
)

Think of it this way... if I set 1/500" in S mode and while I'm shooting the light changes - becomes brighter - the only benefit I get is a different aperture. This has no bearing on how sharp the shot will be. In A mode the aperture will stay where I need it - and the extra light will increase the shutter speed. This will improve the chances of a sharp shot.
For shots like this I also routinely use exposure compensation to underexpose the shot by a stop. I can brighten it later - and the slight underexposure in A mode doubles my shutter speed.
There are many ways - this is just mine - what I've found works for me.

Re: Some really good news
I just done a quick short video of one of my big errors and a quick correction for you.The first bit is the correction. Note only the difference but joined up as well I could have got it a lot better with more time. So by working on one frame only the whole video changes. You could do that with your garden video. Should have got the original made a bit longer, but it shows it can be done
So video editing is exactly the almost the same as stills editing
You just work on one frame as I have mentioned before

Re: Some really good news
HowdyI use Lightroom Classic CC to go from RAW to TIFF.
Then I do final edits, resize and sharpen in Photoshop CC.
I don't edit photos in camera other than converting to JPG if sending to my iPhone via the built in WiFi for work. Before I email them off or post on social media for work I sometimes crop and sharpen etc using Snapseed on my phone.
