It only works in the M position. There is really no meaningful way for it to work in any other position. In Tv the camera can't adjust the aperture, so I don't know what it would do. It isn't true Av because it only meters while stopped down and not continuously. I guess they could have made it work this way, but I don't think that it would be much better: * In Av pressing the green button sets the shutter speed to have the right exposure. Exposure compensation is used to adjust it. This is how M works now. * In M the green button updates the meter reading, but doesn't change the shutter speed. This would be really annoying to use. You would press the green button, see that it was off by a few stops, adjust the shutter or aperture to compensate, then press the green button again. Maybe it would be right, maybe the light changed a bit and now it is half a stop off. Repeat. K/M lenses only work in M mode. It is like shooting with a Spotmatic all over again. I like it. alex
