Hi all, This may be a known issue to istD owners but ...
I was checking out my new D-FA 100mm macro today and noticed some unexpected behaviour. While checking DOF, I noticed it did not seem to work unless the lens was set to 'A'. Of course I would usually like to use the lens in AV mode, preselecting the aperture. Playing arround a bit, I found the DOF check only closes the aperture when either the lens is set to 'A', or the body is set to 'M'. This is a bit annoying, since it does not allow you to set a fixed aperture for good DOF, use automatic exposure, and check the actual DOF in the viewfinder as well. The best work-arround I found was to use manual and the 'green button' to set exposure ... (or no use of DOF-preview :-) I checked with the MZ-S too, and that definately does DOF-preview in all modes ... So, is this a problem with my istD, or do they all have this ?
