"Off", "On," and the QCD, like the 1 series film cameras, with "Off," "On," and "Beep." The QCD is superfluous when the camera is off, and if the switch goes to "On" first, then you can control whether the QCD is operative, or not. According to what I've read, there's nothing missing, unless it uses the RebelD's regimen of dictating what metering with what mode...
