With the pre-production *ist D it was like this:

"Release with M lens" + Lens not in "A" Position + Aperture priority mode = Full aperture during exposure, shutter speed selected automatically

"Release with M lens " + Lens not in "A" Position + Manual mode = No metering but the lens will stop down during exposure.

(still asking for stop down metering with all lenses not in "A" position, as available with fully manual lenses like K500/f4.5 or with M42 lenses)

If it is set to "on" then the camera will release, when a lens
is set to manual aperture (aperture ring not in A mode, which is always
the case for M/K lenses) otherwise the camera will not release.
Note: When the aperture ring is not in A mode, the lens will be always
wide open during exposure.

Cheers, Hans.

Hi All,
Anyone hazard a guess as to exactly what the "Release with lens M" custom
function on the istD will do?
I realise speculation is fairly unusual on the list, but thought someone may
have a go.
Cheers,
Simon

PS - Maybe it sends a signal back to Pentax HQ when it's turned on, and if
enough people activate it they will release a DSLR with K/M compatibility.
