Charles, the *ist D does not display the metering mode in the finder, nor on the top display nor in the 'info' screen - but is visible in playback mode after you press the info button two times - page 16 in the manual.
If you do a long exposure in M with the lens cap on and with noise reduction switched OFF you will inevitably find bright pixels when examining the image on a computer screen. This is not a problem really, as that is why noise reduction is there. You DO have a problem if you find erratic pixels with noise reduction ON or at shorter exposures (where noise reduction does not work anyway). I have one erratic pixel like this in my camera which shows up every now and then and I have yet to decide whether it annoys me enough to send the camera in.
