Does it auto-range on the resistance mode that quick or did you cut it out of the video?
Here's what happened: (German accent->on)
Marketing: We need a Bluetooth multi-meter, Bluetooth is really cool..
Engineering: That's silly, who would use that, and think of the all the work involved.
Management: can't we put in some standard module to save a lot of work? Work=money you know.
Engineering: Yes but think of the rf interference caused in this precision device, and to fit the bloody
BT module we must leave out the standard shield, that could cause all sorts of trouble!
Management: Leave out the standard shield you say? Very good! Those are outsourced and cost 43 cents each and 16 seconds of manual assembly time, great!
What a good day it is to be a manager.

If you want to see how fast the meter autoranges, I suggest watching the earlier videos. My functional testing takes too much time so I edit it down.
A few steps in the process:
Engineer: What about the safety?
Manager: Do we meet the letter of the law?
Engineer: IEC does not test with high magnetic forces like the $70 hanger we sell with the meter but it can cause the meter to be in an unsafe state.
Manager: Not our problem. We are not the experts writing the specs. As long as we meet the letter of the law we are good to go.
Safety inspector: Looks good to me.
Average Customer: Looks good to me.
Spouse of average customer after tragic event: Sniff..
Spouses attorney: We believe your spouse was not at fault and there may be a design flaw with the meter. We saw it on YT...
Several months go by:
Manager: Sorry engineer, we need a scape goat and you are it! In the mean time, I bought a new yacht with the bonus I got from all the money we saved. Clean out your drawers by the end of the day.
Several months go by:
Engineer takes the stand and has saved the emails and voice mails documenting the history on their personal cell phone.
In the mean time, Extech has finished with their recall of their clamp meters being the mid range supplier they are.
